UK transit visas - single or multiple entry?
score:6
Most UK 'Transit Visitor' visas are multiple entry with a 6 month validity. Single entry transit visas are rare. But you should ensure that you provide your complete itinerary when you apply for the visa.
From the guidance to entry clearance officers:
You should normally issue a ‘transit visitor’ visa if you are satisfied that the passenger:
- meets all the eligibility requirements of paragraph V7.5 of Appendix V
- should not be refused under any of the suitability rules of Part V3 of Appendix V
You should issue a multiple entry ‘transit visitor’ visa valid for 6 months (long-term ‘transit visitor’ visas are not available). The length of leave for ‘transit visitors’ is 48 hours.
Single entry ‘transit visitor’ visas would be issued on rare occasions for a maximum validity period of 6months, conferring leave to enter for 48 hours, but allowing the applicant to enter the UK only once–for example, the applicant only has limited validity left on their entry clearance for the country of destination.
An example of when it may be appropriate to reduce validity is where evidence of acceptability in the country of destination (outbound or return journey) expires in less than 6 months. Some countries require passports/travel documents to have a minimum validity period remaining before travel.
