Do I Need A Visa If I'm Passing Through A Country For A Connecting Flight?

Some countries require a transit visa for connecting flights. When planning your trip, it is important that you check whether or not the country through which you are travelling requires a transit visa. Failure to do so may result in immediate deportation.

To find out whether or not the country you are connecting through requires you to have a transit visa, simply contact your travel agent (or any travel agency for that matter) or contact the country's embassy for more information. You also have the option of contacting the airline you are travelling with for any queries regarding the transit visa.

Should you require a transit visa, it can easily be obtained from your travel agency or country's embassy prior to your departure. Alternatively, you can fill out a transit visa on your flight. This will be handed to you by the airline staff before landing.
