• Transit Visa

This category of visa allows individuals who wish to travel via the UK to another country. Non-European nationals who wish to enter the UK as visitors must have permission to do so, unless they are the national of a listed country to which an exemption applies. In some instances, some individuals may also need to apply for a Direct Airside Transit Visa allowing them to take a connecting flight from the UK. Any individual with a Transit Visa must leave the UK within 48hours Our team of Immigration experts can help by ensuring you have the correct visa to help you with Transit Visas.
