Long layover in Heathrow
Upvote:5
The landside transit visa allows you to immigrate into the country for a short period, remain there and then leave again.
It does not matter if you arrive and leave at the same location or a different one.
Normally, transit means that you arrive at one airport, do not pass immigration and stay in the 'airside' area of the aiport. Then you leave from that area again to another international destination.
A 'landside' transit on the other hand is actually more like a short-term tourism visa where you are allowed to leave the 'airside' area of the airport, pass through immigration and then can do as you like until the visa expires (often 24 or 48 hrs). This is to allow you to travel to another international airport in the same country and also allows you to stay in a hotel for the duration of the visa.
Since there is no way to let you transit from one airport to the other without immigrating into the country, you are free to behave like a normal tourist during the time of the visa duration.
