transit visa required

[rsn 135]

I've heard conflicting answers, so I'm asking here in hopes that someone has an answer and is able to cite specific proof.

My MIL is planning to fly from Chicago to Bangkok with a stopover in London (Heathrow). Her stopover is 4 hours. She will land @ terminal 1 and depart @ terminal 3. She holds a Thai(land) passport. I checked out the UK border agency website, and that seems to suggest that she doesn't need a transit visa, but it is a little confusing to me.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Well since you did not mention your MIL's US Immigration status, So I am going to provide you with this web link you can go to and select the applicable drop down menu options to find your answer, I hope this helps.

Here is the link and I hope everybody else out here on VJ will find this helpful as well.

I actually did use that form before I posted. My MIL has a 10-year multiple entry B2/tourist visa to the U.S.

This post is regarding her return flight to Bangkok. The UK post is regarding her arrival flight to Chicago from Bangkok.

I checked those out before, but after re-reading them it appears as if she does not need a transit visa. Thanks.

It's my understanding that she would not need one unless she needed to leave Heathrow, which isn't the case for her - some flights might require arriving in Heathrow and then leaving from Gatwick, in which case she would need one
