Visa Status & Eligibility
Visa exemption may apply
Pakistani passport holders are not exempt from transit visa requirements, though they may qualify for the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) concession if they hold a valid US visa and meet specific itinerary criteria
Application notes
- Travelers holding a valid US visa may qualify for the Transit Without Visa (TWOV) concession when traveling to or from the USA
- The TWOV concession requires arriving and departing by air, holding a confirmed onward flight for the same day or before 23:59 the next day, and possessing correct destination documents
- If not eligible for the TWOV concession, Pakistani nationals must obtain a transit visa before travel via the GOV.UK portal
- Holding a US visa does not guarantee entry and does not exempt travelers from the requirement to hold a transit visa if the TWOV criteria are not met
- Transit visas are processed through the official GOV.UK portal and require biometric submission at a designated visa application center
- Pakistani passport holders must provide comprehensive documentation to prove the transit is genuine and temporary
- Applications should be submitted at least three weeks before the intended travel date
- The UK government Check if you need a UK visa tool is the definitive source to confirm if your specific itinerary qualifies for an exemption
