Travelling through Spain to London - Do I need a transit visa?

Post by DirkDiggler123 » Mon Oct 23, 2017 5:28 pm

Hello,

I am a Nepalese passport holder and I will be travelling from Brazil to London with some layover in Spain. I am not sure if I need a transit visa. I hold an ILR visa in the UK but I lost my Residence Permit while in Brazil. I applied for and received my one-time entry visa to the UK. I would like to know the visa requirements before I book the flight. The airline for this flight is AirEuropa if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance.

Citizen of Nepal need only a transit visa in 3 schengen countries. Spain is not listed.

Leaving the international transit area is not allowed.

I'd imagine the last visa will invalidate your ILR too.....

No it does not. It is a specific single entry visa if a BRP is lost abroad and not a visitor visa. OP can apply for a replacement ILR BRP in the UK only, hence the single entry visa.

You stated in another topic below that you are back in the UK and have applied for your replacement BRP??

Yeah. That was just because I didn't feel like explaining the whole ordeal. Sorry for the confusion.
