If you’re passing through a UK airport on your way to another country, this is known as ‘transiting’—often referred to as a ‘layover.’
Types of Transit in the UK
- There are two types of transit:Airside Transit – You do not go through UK border control before boarding your next flight.
- Landside Transit – You pass through UK border control, usually to check in luggage or switch airports, but must leave the UK within a short period (typically 24 hours).
To ensure a smooth transit experience, securing the correct UK Transit Visa is essential.
At LMI Consultancy, our visa specialists provide expert guidance for a fast, efficient, and fully compliant UK Transit Visa application. Whether you’re traveling for leisure, business, family visits, or official engagements, we handle the complexities so you can travel with confidence.
What is it and who is it for?
A Transit Visa is required if you are changing flights in the UK on your way to another country, passing through UK border control (for example, to collect and recheck baggage), or leaving the UK within 48 hours without working or studying. Once you depart the UK, your Transit Visa is automatically revoked, regardless of its stated validity.
