What Is a UK Transit Visa?

A UK Transit Visa is a temporary visa for travelers passing through the UK on their way to another country. It is not a visitor or work visa and is specifically for short transit stays.

Types of UK Transit Visas:

1. Direct Airside Transit Visa (DATV) – For passengers who remain airside (inside the airport) and do not pass through UK border control.
2. Visitor in Transit Visa – For passengers who must pass through UK border control, such as when changing airports or collecting luggage.
