Is there a website or some other way to find out if I need a transit visa for a short stop in the UK on my way somewhere else? Ideally this should give me the answer for all nationalities, and take into account any other visas I may have.

I am a Chinese national holding a US greencard. I am planning on traveling to the UK and the Schengen area to visit France, Germany, and possibly some countries in between. I am applying for a UK visa and a single entry Schengen visa now. On my journey to the UK I am stopping in Copenhagen for a day. Do I need a transit visa for that? Should I apply for a multiple entry Schengen visa, or is that too much? My guess is a transit visa for Denmark and a separate single entry visa would be easier to apply for.

Here's my situation: I'm a UK citizen. I have an H-1B visa to work in the US as of 1 August. I also have a valid ESTA.  I would like to go to the US in July for a holiday, immediately prior to beginning my work. The holiday would be at the other end of the country from my work.  I can't enter with the H-1B as I can only enter the US on that visa 10 days prior to starting work.  Specific question: Would it be possible to visit the US in early July on the VWP, visit Canada/Mexico for a few days in late July, and re-enter the US with my H-1B visa?  General question: Is it possible to visit the US on the VWP, leave briefly, and re-enter on a different status (e.g. H, F, J, K, etc), without ever returning to one's home country?  I have posted this in Travel rather than Expatriates because, although in my specific case I have an H-1B visa, my question is more generally about VWP and travel, and I believe that it is applicable to travellers with non-immigrant visas.  There's a similar question , although that's about going to the US and before having the H-1B visa.

My daughter bought a ticket for a flight with a layover in Emirates (from Dallas, Texas to India). She had a stop of 48 hours in Dubai. When she was checking in in Dubai for Delhi, she was informed that her visa for India has expired in 2012. Did Emirates not have an obligation to check the visa for India before selling a ticket?

My parents are Indian Citizens. They hold a valid B2 Tourist Visa to USA. I'm planning to book a flight with Hyderabad (India) - Abu Dhabi (UAE) - Dublin (Ireland) - USA. The leg from Hyderabad to Dublin is operated by Etihad and I know there is no problem hopping at Abu Dhabi. The leg from Dublin to US is operated by Aer Lingus. I called Aer Lingus customer care agent told me a transit visa is required to land in Dublin. She did not care to ask for the citizenship of traveller or about the USA visa. I went through Irish immigration website - (), India is not in list of countries that require transit visa. I'm now confused. Can some one confirm if they traveled with the same itinerary recently  Update: I called Aer Lingus again. Another agent told as long as I don't exit the airport, a transit visa is not required. I think these people don't really understand trouble we go through when boarding is denied. I put this question because I read a person was denied boarding earlier - . His case mentions about denied because of different day. But I see his transit time is 12 hours only.

I am an American who wants to come to the UK to discern whether or not my boyfriend and I want to continue our dating and possibly marry in the future (not necessarily this trip). If I purchase a one-way ticket, will I be refused entry? I am allowed to stay up to 6 months with just my passport, but wanted to make sure that was, indeed, the case. I already have a place to stay, and I do not plan on working for the time I will be in the UK. I just do not know yet when I will return (within the 6 month period). Suggestions?

My travel route:  Singapore (origin) --> Hong Kong (transit) --> Seoul, South Korea (destination)  I am flying Cathay Pacific, and I am holding a Bangladeshi passport. I am getting conflicting information from various websites. The Cathay Pacific website states that we don't need a transit visa if we are flying CX all the way. However, the HK immigration web page says everyone needs a transit visa. Could anyone advise please? Thanks.

I stay in US on a valid visa and my wife stays in India along with our daughter who is less than 1 year old. While travelling to US from India, we are planning to visit my brother who has been living in the UK for around 6 years. I am planning to get Visitor visa for my family and myself. Here are the questions I have:   Do I need to fill out , one for myself, one for my wife, and one for my daughter? As I am in the US and my family is in India, will we be able to select different centers (San Francisco for myself and Hyderabad/Chennai for my wife and daughter)?  Do I need to book the flights before submitting the application(s)?

I am a Kazakh passport holder.   I'm travelling from Delhi via SpiceJet to Dubai, landing at Terminal 1 in the early morning. On the same day in the late evening I have a flight to Astana via flydubai from Terminal 2. I do not have a Dubai visa.  Can I transit from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 without a visa?   I am asking because of many variations to this question. Some say a visa is necessary, others write its an internal transfer by bus not requiring visa. So, I am confused.

I am an Indian citizen living in the US. I am going back to India to get a H1B visa stamped. I have established that I would require an airport transit visa when I have a stopover in Germany.  On the way to India, I plan to visit a friend in Italy for a couple of days. For this, I will be applying for a Schengen tourist visa. My itinerary stops in Frankfurt both on the way to Milan and while heading to India from Milan.   Would I still require an airport transit visa despite having a Schengen visa?

My question may look similar to another question, but it still doesn't answer my query.  I have submitted the application and still haven't been asked to pay a fee (When I completed the application, it said my total fee is 0 CAD. I'm not sure if it will change in the future.)   Also like I've said, my application has been online. So I can't figure out if I need to submit my passport physically for the transit visa.  ________________________________________________________________________________  I am a student with Indian nationality, currently living in the US.  I am travelling to India in a couple of days and I have a return flight from India to Phoenix, US with a layover in Toronto, Canada. I have learned that I need a transit visa and have applied for one. It says that the average time to process an application is 42 days.  I just want to know the complete procedure that takes place once I submit my application. I scanned all the required documents and have uploaded them while submitting my application.   Do I need to submit my passport to the nearest Canadian consulate? Does the transit visa come by post or is it available in electronic format? What happens if I don't have my transit visa by the time I fly and get to Canada?   Any help and clarification will be most appreciated.
