Visafar / Transit visas
Airport transit visas at Schengen and UK airports
Some passports need an airport transit visa (ATV) just to change planes in a Schengen airport. 12 nationalities need one at every Schengen airport; some countries add more. A valid US, Canadian, Japanese, Irish or Schengen visa, or a US, Canadian, Japanese or EU residence permit, usually exempts you. At London Heathrow, the UK's own list applies, and a Schengen visitor visa doesn't exempt you. Pick your airport and passport. ATV marks passports that need one there.
