Do I require a UK Visa? Direct Airside?

Post by codemang » Wed Dec 16, 2015 7:53 pm

Hello,

I hope there is someone that can help regarding this query.

I have a Sri lankan Passport. However, I work in Canada and hold a Canadian Work Permit along with Temporary Resident Visa.

I have a business trip to Baku which requires me to transit through UK because of the airline ticket.

I am concerned if I require a UK Visa - a Direct Airside Transit Visa?

I have a Azerbaijan Business Visa in my Sri lankan Passport. I will also be carrying my Canadian Work Permit with my Temporary Resident Visa.

Please advice. Thank you.

I believe you won't need one based on the following. You should read the exemptions - which include Canadian visa & residence permit holders.
