Has anyone been? How difficult is it to get visas and visit? I would quite like to go there but not sure how hard it would be....

Sorry about the random rablings of a night shift worker smile

Why would you want to go there and what would you do once you're there?

you just want a stamp in your passport or something?

Is it ok to admit that i am absoutley fascinated by the history of Sealand. What a crazy series of events and still (kinda) going strong!

Get a hold of the book;
"Attention All Shipping: A Journey Round the Shipping Forecast"
by Charlie Connelly.
In that he describes his visit and the hassle encountered in getting permission/visa from "HRH,Crown Prince Michael"
pretty good book all round. IMO

Cheers Semi hemi, will get onto Amazon asap. Sounds like quite a cool book anyway. Will be taking that on my next trip offshore by the sounds of it.

IIRC - I believe that Sealand is no longer taking visitors, something to do with a plan to be a secure data / server location for backups.

It's a shame as I really want to go there frown
