About Transit Visa

If you are travelling through the United Kingdom on the way to another country, you may need a transit visa even if you never plan to leave the airport. There are two main types, depending on whether you stay airside or need to pass through UK Border Control. The right choice depends on your nationality, route, layover and onward travel. RakLAW Solicitors help travellers and their employers identify the correct transit category and prepare applications that meet UK Visas and Immigration requirements.

Who this is for

  • Travellers connecting through UK airports to another country
  • Crew members and business travellers on multi-leg trips
  • Passengers whose nationality requires transit clearance
  • Travellers needing to pass through UK Border Control

  • Identify the correct transit category for your route
  • Prepare and submit your transit application promptly
  • Advise on onward travel and visa evidence
  • Help where transit has been refused or delayed
