Transit Visitor
Overview
You might need a Visitor in Transit visa if you’re from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland and you’ll:
- be changing flights in the UK on your way to another country
- go through UK border control, for example to check in your luggage for a connecting flight
- leave the UK within 48 hours
- not work or study while in the UK
If you plan on staying in the UK for longer than 48 hours, or if you frequently pass through the UK over a longer period, you will need to apply for a Standard Visitor visa.
