Le visa de transit à travers le Royaume-Uni sera simplifié

UK has made it easier for travelers to travel through its country. This scheme has been extended to those who hold a valid Australia visa, US visa, Canada visa or New Zealand visa even though their place of destination may not be any of the countries. This was publicized by Theresa May, UK Home Secretary. Earlier a transit visa was needed for several occasions.

• Lors d'un changement de vol, mais sans passer par la frontière, un DATV (Direct Airside Transit Visa) était nécessaire et ne durait que 24 heures.
• Un visa de visiteur en transit est nécessaire au départ de l'aéroport ou lors du passage aux frontières. Ce visa n'est valable que 48 heures.

But UK has been facing criticism as it is one of the few European countries that is not part of the Schengen circle. But with the recent relaxation of visas and refund of money to Chinese tourists, UK too seems to have opened its gates in allowing visitors through without much hassle. A UK visa now costs approx. GBP40 and GBP54 and a higher rate for those who frequently need to pass through. The new visa relaxation measures by UK have been to increase the influx of tourists and to facilitate reaching a target of 6 million air travelers as the festive season draws near.
