Transit Visa at London
Hi,
I am planning to travel to India by British airways. I have a french residence permit. Am planning to make the trip from france to India with stopover at london. For this am not sure if I need a transit visa. As far as I have inquired, some people say that we need one, and some say that since I have a residence permit, it should be possible to transit london without one. Ive come across some posts in related groups, but it was posted a long time back, arnd 1998 etc. Was wondering whats the process now, if anyone has travelled from europe to india recently.. please share your experience. Thanks in advance Prashant |

If you mean fly in to London on one flight then out again on the first flight to your destination without trying to actually enter the UK you shouldn't need any form of visa. However, if you want to enter the UK even if it's only to meet a friend at Heathrow for a quick cup of coffee that's a different kettle of fish and that depends on which passport you hold. |

Usenet is not going to refund your airline ticket if you get it wrong. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/servlet/Fr...=1006977149962 |
