Biography
Logan Matthew Arends is a UK-based travel law and immigration compliance consultant specialising in the documents and procedures that travellers need before they fly. Born in Brighton and educated in the British university system, he has built his career around one clear goal: helping people move across borders safely, legally and with as little friction as possible.
Logan holds a BSc in International Tourism Management from the University of Surrey, an MSc in Public Policy and Migration Governance from King’s College London, and a PhD in Transport and Tourism Policy from the University of Leeds. His academic work has focused on advance passenger information systems, electronic travel authorisations and risk-based border management in tourism-dependent destinations, including island economies similar to Aruba.
Over the past 15+ years, Logan has advised travel agencies, online travel platforms and support teams that assist travellers with visas, ED-cards and pre-arrival forms. He has reviewed real case histories of failed applications, last-minute airport problems and misunderstandings around entry rules, using those insights to write clearer guidance and checklists for both industry staff and end users.
