Layover at London Heathrow [duplicate]

I am flying from Chicago(USA) to New Delhi(INDIA) via London Heathrow Airport(LHR). Actually the route is the following -

Chicago --> London Heathrow --> Munich --> New Delhi.

The layover at LHR and at Munich are of 2 hours each. I am worried if I need to get a transit visa for the flight to Munich. I have browsed through other questions related to this, but I just need an assuring confirmation that I won't need a transit visa.

Edit- I hold an Indian passport and study at the USA with F1 visa.

Best Answer

You do not need a Transit Visa in this case as your layover does not require you to get out of the airport. As long as you have a Valid US Visa and you are an Indian citizen anyway, you're good to go.

Also, just as the others posted. Check the links provided in the comments which should serve to answer your question completely regarding Transit Visa policy in UK and the Schengen Area.

Do I have to go through security again for connecting flight at Heathrow?

Everyone who boards an aircraft at Heathrow has to be security screened to UK government standards. Even if you've already been through security checks at another airport, we're obliged to screen you again before you fly from Heathrow.

Do I have to go through security again for connecting international flight?

Yes, a security check is mandatory when you take a connecting flight. This is because there is a time lag between getting off one aeroplane and getting on-board another to reach your destination.

Do you have to go through TSA twice on a layover?

For most domestic layovers, you won't have to go through security again. However, some airports have separate security checkpoints for each terminal, so if you land in one terminal and your next flight is in another, you would have to go through security again.
