You work for a travel agency yet you have only been to Ghana? You want to tour university that you are not attending?
Purpose of trip - X
Travel history -X


You really do not qualify for a visa at this time

LadyGuinivere:

Lol.
Which languages do you speak?
As for clan? Do you have any clan you know of? Most of us no longer associate ourselves with our clans. I'm of the opinion that that section applies to folks (like native americans and others) that still live in communes and have an active clan. I don't believe that section applies to you unless you and your people are still living in your village and running things clan style

getostar:
my pipu, i need confirmation pls.
is it true one must have a transit visa if one is passing through the UK to the US, where the layover is over 1hour.

Beehandz:
No since ur stop over is just 1hr plus

getostar:


lemme rephrase:

would u need a transit visa where your layover in the UK is 23+hrs.
the travel agency insists that where ur layover is more than an hour, you require a transit visa.

can someone reconfirm this?

cc. Seyewest, LadyG

seyewest:


You don't need a transit visa if you're flying BA or Virgin Atlantic to your destination
You don't need a transit visa if you will be in the airport waiting for the next flight
You don't need a transit visa if your flight is taking off from the same airport you flew into e.g Heathrow
You don't need a transit visa if your connecting flight is under 24hrs.

getostar:
my pipu, i need confirmation pls.
is it true one must have a transit visa if one is passing through the UK to the US, where the layover is over 1hour.

LadyGuinivere:

The question is, which airline are you going on? If it stops and tkes off from heathrow, no visa needed. If it stops at heathrow and takes off from gatwick, then you need a visa. That would be Virgin, had that ish with them one time.

getostar:


high state of confusion.
the agent said u wouldn't be allowed to wait at the airport (in this case heathrow) beyond 2hrs thus u must have a transit visa.
this agent is quite reputable and i have spoken to their personnel in both their local and headoffice.
pls have you experienced this personally or do u have anyone that has done this previously?

getostar:


Virgin. the flight lands and departs from heathrow. But they r saying i must get a transit visa cuz the layover is 23hrs 15mins.
i stated i wouldnt mind staying in the airport that long but they said i must have a visa where the layover is more than 2hrs max.
Do i ignore their warning n go ahead to book?

seyewest:

Sorry to ask you this question.. Is it a must you must fly with Virgin? I think Lufthansa is cheaper and also have you called the airline to confirm?

getostar:


i called o.
....could barely hear what the lady was saying sha with the plenty american accent but she basically said they can't confirm that.

same for lufthansa...(the travel agent claims i would need one where the layover is over 4hrs - frankfurt)

i don taya.

Bro I got your request to send me a message, I don't reply via inbox again, as I want others to benefit too.
If there are any personal details like your name, you can remove it, please ask of your questions here.

getostar:


i have read through those links previously but there isn't any clarity.
one of the clauses was that the flight should depart same day.
with a 23hr wait, u can be sure that the onward flight doesn't depart same day.
everyone keeps saying u don't need a visa as long as u stay within the airport, while 2 different travel agents claim i need one as long as the wait period exceeds 2hrs.
those i know that flew that route had valid UK visas thus cant be sure if i wouldn't need one, sadly mine just expired.
don't want to be unnecessarily stranded and don't know if i can go through the rigors of getting a UK visa now.
that's why i need a clear-cut answer.

KaptainAfrika:
Oh 23 hours? that's okay na, i thought it was 24 hours which is like one day. Ask for a lounge to chill and relax. If you're in business class or above. Or if there's one you can pay for, if there's one.
