Seamless Travel Through International Gateways

A Transit Visa is a short-term visa issued to travelers who are passing through a country en route to another destination. Transit visas are commonly required for stopovers in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Schengen countries in Europe, and certain Middle Eastern destinations. Requirements depend on your nationality, the length of your layover, and whether you intend to leave the airport transit zone.

Transit visas are usually valid for very short durations—often between 24 and 72 hours. They do not permit employment, study, or long-term stay. There are generally two main types:

  • Airport Transit Visa (ATV) – Allows you to remain in the international transit area of the airport without entering the country.
  • Short-Stay Transit Visa – Allows you to pass through border control and possibly leave the airport for a limited period before your next flight.

Steps to Apply for a Transit Visa

The first and most critical step is determining whether you actually require a transit visa. Requirements depend on your nationality, passport type, layover duration, and destination country. Even though transit visas are short-term, documentation must still be accurate and complete. Missing documents can result in delays or refusal. We ensure all documents are properly arranged and compliant.

Applications are typically completed online via the official immigration website of the transit country. Accuracy is essential to avoid complications. We assist in completing forms correctly and consistently with your travel itinerary.
