UK Mandates Transit Visa for 73 Countries in 2026
The UK government has published a list of 73 countries and territories whose nationals are required to obtain an airport transit visa before passing through UK airports, effective in 2026. This regulation applies to travelers who are transiting through British airports without entering the UK.
Nationals from these countries cannot access UK airport transit zones without the appropriate visa. The list includes countries such as Afghanistan, China, India, Nigeria, and Russia, among others.
Travelers from the listed countries are advised to confirm their transit visa requirements well in advance of their travel to prevent being denied boarding by airline carriers.
