Direct Airside Transit visa：印度 → 英国
Indian citizens living in the United States need a UK Direct Airside Transit visa — apply online on gov.uk and give biometrics at a UK visa application centre in the United States.
UK transit visa for changing flights at a UK airport without going through UK border control — you stay airside and do not enter the UK.
- 有效期
- For transit only — you must be changing flights and leaving the UK; if you need to stay more than 48 hours or frequently pass through the UK over a period of over six months you must apply for a Standard Visitor visa instead.
- 入境次数
- For the single airside transit covered by your application.
- 单次最长停留
- You do not go through UK border control and do not enter the UK — you remain airside while changing flights.
何时开始办理
建议在出行前 21 天 至 30 天 开始办理。
Apply for this visa if you will be changing flights in the UK and will not be going through UK border control.
You do not need a transit visa if you already hold certain documents, such as a Standard Visitor visa, a Marriage Visitor visa, an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), a Home Office travel document, or an EU Settlement Scheme family permit.
Complete the online application for a Direct Airside Transit visa.
At the visa application centre you have your fingerprints and photo (biometric information) taken and submit your supporting documents.
You'll usually get a decision on your visa within 3 weeks of your appointment.
