Don't know much about this but transit should not be an issue. Because you don't go through the immigration in the transit country.
for e.g. If I travel from India to London via germany ... i don't need to have german visa unless I want to go outside airport in germany.

you might be banned from entering UK for 10 years but technically you didn't enter UK unless you go through the immigration check post.


So mate, I think you should be fine if you just have UK as transit, there should not be any issue.

thanks for your reply
however, I checked the air tickets and I think I would have to change the airports. the journey requires me to get off at international airport Heathrow and take the next Air Aran flight domestic from Luton. I presume that their would be shuttle service provided from the airline or airport. But still need to know ehether this would be ok or not.... kindly help....

This could cause you an issue, because these 2 airports are fairly apart from each other and i think you'd have to go through immigration to take your next flight from luton...although as i said am not expert but its better safe to have some other flight where you don't need to change the airports.

International connections do not reuire going through Immigrations or Customs but all International to Domestic connections do.

Hope this helps.

Are you confusing rejection of EC application with a ban imposed on you from entering the UK?

[geriatrix]

If you have a ban imposed on you then you'll not be able to switch airports in the UK. Any application(s) for transit visa may be declined for the same reason (ban).

The only way you can get the ban revoked is through legal case.

For going to republic of ireland you have to clear immigration at UK if you are coming from india becuase ireland and uk form a common travel area so if you say that you are going to ireland and you have a ban to uk for 10 years it is highly likely that you will sent back from heathrow. I suggest dont fly through uk.
