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 planning to travel to the UK with my mother. Her visa is valid from 15th June and my visa's validity starts on July 1st.   I will be leaving from Chennai on June 30th, with a transit in Mumbai, but the arrival in the UK is late on the 30th of June. Will I be permitted to travel or will I be prevented from boarding because of the July 1 validity?   Do I need to apply for a vignette transfer? I'm confused about it, as some sites say it is only for those with a new passport. If I do need a vignette transfer, what is the procedure and what documents are required?

I will be flying from Boston to Tokyo with a 5.5 hour morning layover in Chicago. I'm thinking of going out to the city for some late breakfast and/or sightseeing. I've never left an airport during a layover before, so I have some questions.  I'll land in Chicago at 8am, and take off at 1:30pm.   I imagine I'll leave the airport by 9, and should be back by 11:30. Is this reasonable? What's the best way to deal with luggage? I assume that I'll have to claim the luggage from the domestic flight, then re-check it for the international flight. Can I leave the airport after re-checking it? If not, are there any luggage storage options, other than  (lol)? How much is a taxi to downtown Chicago? As an alternative to downtown, is there anything (food/sights) you can you recommend that's closer to the airport?

I have a flight from Bangalore, India to Manila, Philippines via Bangkok. It’s with the same airline (Thai Airways) but I will have to spend 10 hours in the airport at Bangkok for the connecting flight to Manila. Do I need a transit visa for Bangkok? Also, do I have to pass through immigration with luggage at Bangkok? I don’t have a visa for the Philippines as I will be staying there for a week. I have an Indian passport and a UK standard visit visa.

My wife, a Chinese citizen living in the United Kingdom under a spousal visa, will be travelling from London to Beijing next summer. She has a layover at Boryspil Airport for a little over 4 hours. She is flying both into and out of the airport with Ukraine International Airlines, which  says that all of its flights arrive and depart from Terminal D. I  that a transit visa is needed for Chinese citizens. However, I also read that , but no evidence seems to be offered for that claim. Is a transit visa required if she stays in Terminal D for the entirety of the layover? If not, where are the official sources stating that staying in the terminal is permissible without such a visa?

Does anyone know how long it takes to transfer from the domestic to the international terminal at Mumbai T2? My elderly father is making this trip and I want to give him as much information to prepare him. Additional information such as if he has to exit the domestic terminal and reenter the International one will be of help too.  He is flying Jet Airways into Mumbai which I believe arrives at T2 and the international terminal is T2 as well.  Thanks in advance.

I shall enter at PEK on a flight from London, arriving at 0930 and continue onwards by air to Hong Kong three days later at 1230, and I shall be travelling on an ordinary British passport.

Does anyone have any experience in doing this kind of transit?
