What is a UK Transit Visa?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A UK Transit Visa is a permit that enables the holder to travel to any other country visa the United Kingdom. For example, if you are an Indian Passport holder traveling from Delhi to New York, with a layover in London, you may require a UK Transit Visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the types of UK Transit Visas?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There are TWO main categories of Transit Visa. Before we explain you the types of UK Transit Visas, keep the following terms in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Airside<\/strong>: Airside is the area of an airport where your flight arrives. The area is beyond the customs control and security checks and you don\u2019t have to go through the Border Control or Immigration procedures. If you arrive at London Heathrow, and your next flight is from the same airport, which doesn\u2019t require you to leave the airport premises, you are on the airside.

2. Landside:<\/strong> The Landside of the airport is the area of the airport which is open to the general public without any restrictions. This show requires the passenger to cross-Border Control and undergo the Immigration Procedures in order to board their next connecting flight. For example, if you arrive at the London Heathrow airport and your next flight to your final destination is from London Gatwick airport, then you will be required to leave the airport and go the other airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
