I will be travelling to Ireland with transit in Heathrow. Will I require a transit visa?​

You might be eligible for ‘transit without visa’ if:

  • you arrive and depart by air

  • have a confirmed onward flight that leaves on the day you arrive or before midnight on the day after you arrive

  • have the right documents for your destination (for example a visa for that country)

  • (or) have an Irish biometric visa (marked ‘BC’ or ‘BC BIVS’ in the ‘Remarks’ section) and an onward flight ticket to the Republic of Ireland.

All visas and residence permits must be valid.
