Transit Visa

You might need a visa to pass through the UK in transit (on your way to another country).

You do not need a transit visa if you:

• have an EU Settlement Scheme family permit
• have a Home Office travel document, for example you’re a refugee or stateless person
• have a Standard Visitor Visa
• have a Marriage Visitor Visa

You’ll need to apply for a Standard Visitor Visa instead of a Visitor in Transit visa if either:

• you need to stay more than 48 hours in the UK
• you need to frequently pass through the UK over a period of over six months
