Thanks I’ve subscribed! I just would like to know your view. What do they request to determine eligibility? If someone wants to book a trip but will need to change airports in London (36 hours layover) what supporting documents are needed? Just proof of ongoing flight information? Do they question the layover time period?

@@SabrinaStrawbs when I got my transit visa I submitted these documents. 1. Travel Itinerary (My flight details to and from London) 2. Visa for the country that was my final destination. These two are your most important documents in my opinion. Other than this I also submitted.
