    As long as you have valid unexpired visa stamp in your passport for US visa, no transit visa is required for stopover in London for citizens of India.

      Transit Visa

      Hi,

      I had asked the same question in past and i was advised that there is no need of Transit Visa.Then i contacted UK Consulate in India via e-mail because some people were still saying that yes, my mother do require Transit visa according to the new rule.

      Here is the response that i got back from them.
      "Dear maam
      As per the rules she dont require a Direct airside visa as she is holding a valid USA visa but a normal transit visa may be required depending upon the airlines discretion .So it is advisable to check with the airlines .
      The requirements are attached .The fee would be rupees 3100 and the status of the application will be given back the next day evening .Further details can be checked from www.ukvisas.gov.uk

      Fortunetly, my mother got her ticket booked for Cathay Pacific, so i didn't had to ask British Airways.I hope this helps.

      Thanks,

        UK transit visa is not required if you have valid unexpired US visa stamp.
