Transit Visitor Visa UK
The Transit Visitor visa is designed for individuals who need to pass through the UK enrooted to another country outside the Common Travel Area. This visa allows entry into the UK for up to 48 hours while crossing the UK border, unless the Transit without Visa Scheme under Appendix Visitor applies. Visa nationals are required to secure entry clearance as a Transit Visitor unless they qualify for entry under the Transit without Visa Scheme, which allows them to apply for permission to enter upon arrival in the UK.
