Visa required, even in direct airside transit.

Exemptions apply when holding visas for Australia, Canada,

New Zealand,  U.S.A. and E.E.A. countries (TIRGL/EEA )and

TWOV is then permitted. For information & conditions on:

Type of transit visa required depends on type of journey:

- if passenger is in transit with same-day, same-airport

  transfer, "A-Direct Airside Transit" visa (DATV) is required.

  This visa must be obtained prior to arrival in the UK and

  will allow the passenger to transit between terminals at the

  same UK airport as the passenger remains airside;

- if passenger is in transit and must change airport in the

  U.K., or has an overnight stop in U.K.,  a valid U.K. visa

  with any endorsement other than "Direct Airside Transit

  Visa" is required;

- if passenger is in transit to the Channel Isl., Isle of

  Man, or Ireland (Rep. of), a valid U.K. visa with any

  endorsement other than "Direct Airside Transit Visa" or

  "Visitor in Transit Visa" is required.
