I have a valid Canadian Study Permit - Visa and will be travelling to Toronto Canada this summer via British Airways and I've booked and paid for my flight ticket, which has 2 connections from Muritala Muhammad Airport in Lagos to Heathrow Airport London and to Newark Liberty International (EWR) to LaGuardia Airport (LGA) in order to board my final flight to Toronto. My question goes thus: do I need a Transit Visa to board the US bound plane from Heathrow to Newark International and transiting from Newark Liberty International to LaGuardia Airport to board my last flights to Toronto?

In Europe usually you don't need to go through immigration to change planes (unless you are entering/exiting Schengen). Is it the case in the US as well? May I catch a connecting flight on one of the US airports if I don't have US visa?

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?

According to  it seems that anyone can make the transit without a visa, but I'm not convinced. Where can I get some more official information on this?

I am travelling to Budapest and therefore have a Schengen Visa. I hold an Indian passport and a valid US visa. I'm travelling from Chicago-Heathrow-Budapest and returning by Budapest-Dublin-Chicago.  Would I need a transit visa for UK/Ireland?  UPDATE  Hoping this will help someone someday.   I was not allowed to board my return flight (BUD-DUB-ORD) because I do not hold an overnight Irish Transit Visa. They said I could have transited happily if the connecting flight was in the same day, but because I would have to originally land at 10 PM and catch the connecting flight next morning at 10 AM, I needed a transit visa. Well, I thought it was BS, but couldn't help comply with the rules. I booked another last minute ticket and flew via Warsaw via LOT.

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 thinking of visiting Victoria, BC in Canada and then going to Seattle, WA in the US, with the .  I am a national of a country under the Visa Waiver Program. I think that if I enter by air, I need to fill an ESTA form. If I enter by car, I don't need one, I can fill a form when crossing the border.  With the ferry, what is the procedure? Should I necessarily have an ESTA?

I'm flying to Tokyo. The flight was sold through Finnair. The first leg is operated by American Airlines. The second and final legs are operated by Finnair.  When I checked in online, it said that some airports on my journey (didn't say which one) don't allow mobile boarding passes?? Meaning I will need a physical copy.  Unfortunately I don't have easy access to a printer. Will I still be able to print all my boarding passes at the airport even though I already checked in online?

My grandparents bought a flight on United Airlines that departs on Feb 10 2019, as the one and same ticket, from Toronto, to ORD with 1 55-minute layover, then Maui. Please ping me if I ought post their return flight on Feb 24's details.   advises:     There should be no customs and immigrations formalities at ORD, as YYZ is a , and CBP matters will be handled in Toronto.    I'm assuming that  persists during their vacation to Maui.   reported some TSA agents' refusal to work.  Will  refuse to work, or any other federal workers pertinent to travelling to and from the US?

I am a UK citizen, and therefore qualify for the USA's  (VWP). If I enter by  I need to apply for (and pay for) ESTA beforehand. If I enter by , I don't need ESTA. But I do get a 90 day visa waiver which allows me to go to Canada and return to the USA, on the same VWP.   My question is: If I first enter the USA on foot, from Canada (at Niagara Falls), return to Canada on foot, and then 3 days later fly from Canada into the USA, do I need ESTA? Or as my existing visa waiver is still in place, is that good enough?

I will be travelling from IAD (Washington DC) to VIE (Vienna) on two separate tickets, first one being on Virgin Atlantic (redeeming miles from IAD to LHR) and second one being on British Airways from LHR to VIE. I am planning to have a layover of about 5 hrs 20 min between both the flights (both arriving and departing from terminal 3 at LHR)  I have an Indian passport with a valid US visa. I have following questions:   Is there even a slight chance that my luggage will be checked through? Does anyone have any experience here? This will help me avoid the UK border and immigration check. I checked with Virgin Atlantic and they said baggage cannot be tagged through to VIE since I have separate tickets. Still I was hoping that things may change at the gate while boarding at IAD. On checking  I see that I will not need a visa for passing UK Border and Immigration. However, the results on this website say "You might be eligible for ‘transit without visa’" if you are arriving from USA and have an onward flight leaving on same or next day. The words 'might be eligible' concern me. Again anyone with experience here? There's an earlier BA flight available (leaving me with a layover of 2 hours between arriving and departing flights from the same terminal 3). Will this be sufficient? Or should I stick to the later flight giving me 5 hrs and 20 min in transit?   Many thanks for your replies.

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 am landing in Sydney at T1 from Fiji. 3 hours later I need to have collected luggage and checked in for my Sydney to UK flight, still at T1, just a different carrier. Does this mean I will have to go through customs and immigration? I’ve no idea.  Basically, I need to know if I need a transit visa. The immigration website states that if I'm in transit and don’t leave the transit lounge then it’s fine but... what’s the transit lounge? The terminal?

I am an Indian citizen and currently staying in United States on J-1 Exchange Visitor visa. I will be traveling from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to New Delhi (India) on 19th July. I have a layover of 22 hours at Narita Airport. I do not plan leave the terminal, both my incoming and departure flight are from Terminal 2 at Narita airport. I have booked the flights through Japan Airlines.    Will I be requiring a transit visa?  I have heard of some rules change at Narita Airport, hence asking this as a separate question.  Also, if the visa is required is it possible to get it at on arrival at NRT or do I need to apply for visa at the Japanese Embassy at Houston?
