Overview
A UK Transit Visa is for travellers passing through the UK on the way to another destination. Depending on your situation, this may apply even if you do not plan to leave the airport, and the requirements depend on your nationality, route, and travel documents.
Who This Visa Is For
This route may suit you if:
- You will change flights in the UK on the way to another country
- You have a short stopover and will continue your journey
- You need permission to transit based on your passport and travel route
Key Evidence for Transit
Transit applications often require:
- Proof of onward travel (confirmed booking to the next destination)
- Valid visa/permission for the final destination (if required)
- Clear timing and route details (arrival and departure schedules)
- Evidence you will not overstay
Typical Documents
