Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under sections 41 and 166(3) of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and amends the Immigration (Passenger Transit Visa) Order 2003 (the “2003 Order”). The 2003 Order requires certain passengers to hold a transit visa to pass through the United Kingdom without entering whilst transiting to another country or territory.

This Order provides that a person who holds a passport issued by South Africa, and who has not previously entered the United Kingdom lawfully using that passport will require a transit visa. It also has the effect that nationals and citizens of Jamaica will require a transit visa.
