Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I have open date ticket via Newark --> London --> Doha --> Ktm. It will be Continental Airlines to London and then Qatar airways to Ktm.

I am looking for somebody who're going to that route so that I can confirm the ticket.

are you the same ishwor that i met the other day in sajha party....hey!!

Could not help but read the thread. Just wanted to bring to people's notice that people need to have a visa to UK, even if you are on transit. Thats what i recently found out from one of my cousin who recently came back from nepal couple of weeks ago. So call your travel agent and make sure that you have everything unless you want to be stranded. I was gonna go thru london too but i changed my flight route from Newark to Frankfurt to Doha to Kathmandu. Peace

hi all,
does anyone know if we need a transit visa to london if we have a nepali passport? do u know how to get it and how much does it cost??

Mamta,

To my knowledge, you need a transit visa at UK as a Nepali passport holder unless you are a US permanent resident. You should be able to apply for the visa at the designated British consulate for your area.

A visa to UK costs $72.00 plus a shipping charge of $12. You can fill out a Visa application online at www.britianusa.com. Get a prinout of the completed application and mail it at the following ddress:
British Consulate General New York
845 Third Avenue

Telephone: 212 745 0200

The following supporting documents are required:

* completed application form VAF1
* application fee and postage fee (if applicable) - either money order or
cashiers cheque, personal cheques will not be accepted
* your current passport

Employment Authorisation Card etc
* Flight reservation/itinerary showing your intended dates into and out of the
United Kingdom. Do not purchase your ticket before the visa is issued
* evidence of funds available to you, for example recent bank statements
covering at least the last three months
* either a letter confirming your period of leave from your employer together
with salary slips for the last three months; or a certificate confirming you

It's a REAL easy process and you receive your Visa within 2 weeks.
Have a safe flight!!! Bon Voyage

Sorry the website for the application is http://www.Britainusa.com

This is getting random now.

If I go by what's written on their website (- http://www.britainusa.com/visas/other_show.asp?SarticleType=25&Other_ID=313#exempt), I do not need a transit visa.

If I listen to people who have actually gone through the route, some say you need it while some say you do not.

Do those immigration officers act randomly?

Btw, how long are you going get stranded there if you do not have a transit visa? Are those officers willing to listen to you??

I am going to fly Via london on dec 20. I have seen that webpage and make a copy to show the immigration officer. i am exempted from #1.
Let me know guys if this doesn't work.

Me too going to Nepal this dec. Let me know if anyone needs any information.

if you hold a nepali passport, but have valid us visa (f-1, h1b), a british transit visa is not needed if the transit duration is going to be short, less than 24 hrs. i learned from an immigration site several months ago. but check with authority first, though to be on safe side.

thank you guys,
that was very helpful
but i am still confused if i need transit visa to UK. my transit wont be more than 10 hrs. pls let me know if you have experienced that.

Hey Rusty - what is the fare nowadays to Nepal - your route? I like London=Qatar=KTM?

Some people asked me about the fare, but I didn't get the ticket from the U.S. So can't say about the fare. Sorry!

*********** IMPORTANT ***************
About London transit visa, if you have a valid US visa stamped on your passport, you don't need transit visa. If you just hold H1B, or F1, but no multiple entry visa stamped on your passport, then you need that visa.

Thank you all for your response.

i am flying in 6th of december.............anybody wants to contact me contact me in emai..........we will have blast...imagine meeting money in real life...woho...lot of booze and some chicks re kya...tara kya bore i had to leave within 2 weeks to see my dad business branch in pokhara....plus catering and his fren restaurant...tara for sure i will hang in ktm...aba bachke rehe na re pokhara ko chuwak haru

tell me the chepest fair to Nepal? send me the address.

Thanks Rusty,
It makes sense now.
The key word being "multiple entry visa." Those people ( I know) who have been stopped in the past in UK did not have a multiple entry visa. I was trying to find out why some people were stopped and why some were not. Afterall, it was not that random..if that's what it is.

Mamta,
Mind telling us how much you paid for your ticket and around what time you are leaving? Not that I am looking to change my itenary or anything, but just wanted to know what kind of deal you've got. :p
