Transiting through UK Manchester Terminal 1 Visa? [duplicate]

I am flying from the USA to Turkey with a Turkish passport. I checked the UK "do i need a visa guide", it asks the question if I will go through UK Borders Control, if I will not I will not need a transit visa but if I will I need to get a visa. My experience with other airports is that you don't leave the terminal building ( Amsterdam )so you never pass through the border control.

The thing that bothers me is that I have non-connecting flights with no luggage. Both airlines operate in Terminal 1 in Manchester Airport.

1 ) Will I pass through UK customs ? 2 ) Will I pass through UK immigration ?

Anybody had experience with Manchester Airport ?

Best Answer

Airside Transit (i.e. changing flights without having to enter the UK) is possible at the Heathrow, Gatwick and Manchester Airports (regardless of terminal changes).

I assume you're a Turkish citizen, and they normally Need a visa even for changing flights (a so-called direct airside Transit visa, or DATV for short). However, you have a US visa which is a valid Substitute for this.

So, you don't Need to clear Immigration, and since you have a US visa, don't Need a British DATV

And by the way, even if you did Need to clear Immigration, you could do so without a visa and stay until 23:59 the next day
