La visa de tránsito a través del Reino Unido será más fácil

UK has made it easier for travelers to travel through its country. This scheme has been extended to those who hold a valid Australia visa, US visa, Canada visa or New Zealand visa even though their place of destination may not be any of the countries. This was publicized by Theresa May, UK Home Secretary. Earlier a transit visa was needed for several occasions.

• Al cambiar de vuelo, pero sin pasar por la frontera, se necesitaba una DATV (Visa de tránsito aéreo directo) que duraba solo 24 horas.
• Se necesita una visa de visitante en tránsito al salir del aeropuerto o pasar por el control fronterizo. Esta visa es efectiva solo por 48 horas.

But UK has been facing criticism as it is one of the few European countries that is not part of the Schengen circle. But with the recent relaxation of visas and refund of money to Chinese tourists, UK too seems to have opened its gates in allowing visitors through without much hassle. A UK visa now costs approx. GBP40 and GBP54 and a higher rate for those who frequently need to pass through. The new visa relaxation measures by UK have been to increase the influx of tourists and to facilitate reaching a target of 6 million air travelers as the festive season draws near.
