Hello all, Its urgent:

My wife coming to India & she has connecting flight from London.

Please reply if any1 have exp. of it.

Deep Singh

hello deep singh,
as per my last information, PR or NON-PR, its same for all, transit visa is not needed for connecting flights.
i came via heathrow early this year, did not need transit visa, no matter how many stops/countries your flight stops en route, you do not need visa if you do not leave the airport, i had same experience for amsterdam and zurich, the passenger area of any international airport is considered international travel zone so no visa is needed for flight change or stop-over of few hours,( i m not sure of much longer stopover periods/ like days), and one more thing that i found out... at heathrow there are very good large sofa seats near terminal A7 with play area for children, anyone who has more than 2-3 hours stay can go and have a comfortable rest/short nap there.. hope i was helpful.. god bless.

I think last I know Australia also you need a trasit visa if you have an indian passport......for Europe if you are having more than 2 hops in Europe you will be not allowed as then you need a transit visa.....this has been told by my travel agent when I had last gone to India and through I might have to get my wife....I was having 2 hops in Europe (london and munich) which the travel agent said then my wife will not be able to come with me.....
so I think the travel agent usually have a good idea but in your case it will be fine.....

of course if you are transiting any other place you will not be allowed to leave the airport....even with a transit visa you cannot go out of the airport...

Thank you myrah7 ...!
Application was received by cic on may 27 2013
Medical was done before that because i had to submit the medical acknowledgement slip along with the other docs...sponsorship was approved in june 2013 within 20 days that was awesome...after that in july first week they asked for my original passport which i submitted in july itself received a mail from them acknowledging that my passport has Reached them ....then after a long wait finally on dec 4 2013 the status was in process n they started processing my application... Medical results have been received on 17 dec 2013...thats all

Now im currently waiting for january first week and im sure if i wouldn't receive my passport by the first week...i will be hopeless :/

i never heard of them acknowledging the passport delivery....if they sent you mail then you are the luckiest person on this planet ;D ;D

Oh Thanks Buggi but British Airline said she may require & told me to confirm from UK-Visa Facilitation Service Deptt.(VFS)...

Do you have past experience i.e. Any travel Via UK ??? If yes then I will be tension free...

there is no need to get transit visa if anyone travel from canada to india or viceversa via uk and germany...so don't worry at all.....

we must encourage good behaviors such as acknowledging receipt of passport from ND visa office (they deserve an award for doing beyond their normal duties of calling to confirm address to mail passports; calling sponsored persons to mail his/her passport; changing status in ecas). I wish to send them chocolates (coated with laxatives) since I cannot afford to send bronze statues.
