I (Indonesian) have a possible travel itinerary from Japan to Berlin via UK Heathrow airport. From the airline website it says that I need to move from Terminal 3 (arrival from Japan) to Terminal 5 of Heathrow airport. As I have never been to Heathrow before, do I need to pass the border check/immigration? If so then do I need to have UK transit visa or some sort? I have residence permit visa for Germany.
