Do I need a visa?

You will need a visa if you:

• are a national of one of the countries listed in the Visa and Direct Airside Transit Visa (DATV) nationals page on this website
• are stateless (you do not have a nationality)
• hold a non-national travel document (a travel document which does not give you the nationality or citizenship of the country that issued it), or
• hold a passport issued by an authority that is not recognised in the UK.

Certain other categories of travellers to the UK may need entry clearance. If you are not sure whether you need a visa, or if you need more information, please read the appropriate guidance and the Do I need a UK visa? questionnaire on this website or contact your nearest British mission overseas.
