Hello Friends,

I found a flight, where we will land at Lon Heathrow Terminal 3 and will have to change terminals to Terminal 5
do we need a visa for this transit (Canadian PR/Pakistani Passport)

Thanks.

I think you'll be OK for transit (with baggage checked all the way), but I'd still check with your airline/booking agent to be certain:

,

Well if one doesnt change/leave the airport ,visa is not required.I am not 100% sure but I believe ,we had to do the same when we first came to Canada .Is it BA s flight ,from Riyadh via Heathrow ? If thats the case you will just need to use the airport (internal) shuttle train to reach terminal 5 and no visa is required.

Hope that helps.

i didn't need a transit visa while i was traveling , if ur staying inside the airport u don't need a transit visa , and concerning the change of terminals , it's very easy , u can use the inside bus to do it , ask the airport staff , they are friendly , and just to make sure double check , Good chance and may Allah gives u success and health , Salamu 3alaykom

Thanks all
by the way anyone else had experienced changing terminals at Heathrow

thx
My family member changed the terminal from 3 to 5 at Heathrow and there was no requirement of any transit visa. Only thing is that it can take about 45 minutes and there is a lot of hassle.
