Understanding airside transit visas
An airside transit (or "sterile transit") is when you change flights at an airport without passing through immigration or entering the country. Many countries allow visa-free airside transit for short connection times, but rules vary by nationality and airport.
This tool checks transit visa requirements for airside connections only at major international hubs. It does not cover:
- Situations where you need to clear immigration (collect baggage, change terminals outside security, or leave the airport)
- Land border or cruise transits
- Transit through smaller or regional airports not yet in our dataset
Transit visa rules are route-specific and change frequently. Always verify with the official immigration website of your transit country before booking.
Where this data comes from
Transit visa rules are collected from official government immigration and public information sources. Each hub entry links to its source. Data is curated manually and reviewed periodically.
