Travelling from India to canada via Dubai and London. Do I need a transit visa

Upvote:3

Assuming you have Indian citizenship with some sort of Canadian authorization (study, tourist, etc.). This question is irrelevant if you have British or Canadian citizenship. Also, judging by your name, I know you don't have Emirati citizenship.


I think you may have a problem. Let me explain.

I have done the following routes several times:

  • DXB(somewhere in Europe)(somewhere in Canada)
  • BOM(somewhere in Europe)(somewhere in Canada)
  • BOMDXB(somewhere in Europe)(somewhere in Canada)

What it boils down to is whether you purchased your ticket as a whole or whether they are separate ticket.

Purchased one ticket for Delhi to Calgary

When checking in at Delhi, you will have your bags tagged to meet you in Calgary. You don't need to re-check the luggage at any intermediate points allowing you to stay airside at all intermediate airports and hence avoid the need for transit visa.

Journey from Delhi to Calgary is composed of two or more separate tickets

If this is the case, you will either need to re-check your luggage in Dubai or London. For either of these two intermediate airports, Indian citizens need a visa to go land side so that you can pick up your bags and re-check in.
