Visa route

Transit Visa

Whether you need one depends on your nationality, the airport, the terminal you land in and whether you clear immigration. Many travellers only discover the requirement at check-in, which is usually too late to fix.

Airside connections and short stops between flights.

Who this route is for

  • Airside connections requiring a permit
  • Overnight layovers outside the airport
  • Terminal changes that cross immigration

Documents you will usually need

This is the baseline list. The final checklist depends on your nationality, the destination and your circumstances, and we confirm it against the authority before you submit.

  • Passport valid for the whole itinerary
  • Confirmed onward flight booking
  • Visa or entry permission for the final destination
  • Hotel booking if the layover is overnight

How Alif Visa helps

We confirm the document list for your nationality and destination, review your uploads before submission and keep you updated as the file moves. Government fees and our service fee are always quoted separately — we never present our charge as an embassy fee.

Alif Visa is a private assistance company. We are not affiliated with any government, embassy or visa application centre, and no agency can guarantee the outcome of an application.
