If you are travelling with nepalese passport then you must have visa to enter UK. For more info please click on this link. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/visiting/

Thanks Georgian_Satellite.
But the info on their website seems rather confusing. I shall contact their nearby Embassy directly.

Thanks again.

If you go to the bottom of the page in ' visitors in transit' > 'can you come to the UK as a visitor in transit' > 'do i need a visa' > ' are you visa national'? on this page it has clearly stated that Nepal falls into 'visa-national' catergory.

Thanks bro/sis, thanks again. That was a really nice guide you gave me.

Well, for those who want the same info, here's the link I ended up with following "Georgian Satellite"'s instructions: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/visiting/transit/visa/#

If you have a valid US visa (F, H or B) on your passport or you are a green card holder and traveling to or from US, you don't need a transit visa in UK else you need one. Click the link below and follow the "Transit without Visa Concession" section.

It says:

Visitor In Transit (VIT)
Visa nationals whose ticketing requires them to change airports in the UK and where the connecting flight is less than 48hrs between arrival and departure should select this visa.

Contrary to its title "visitor in transit" you may NOT visit the UK, this visa is solely for the purpose of changing airports i.e. London Heathrow to London Gatwick. Sightseeing, shopping, visiting friends and/or family is prohibited.

Ke garne holaa ta??

'Transit without visa' concessionClose

If you are a visa national or recognised as stateless, you may be able to transit the UK landside without a visa. To qualify for this exemption:

you must arrive and depart by air;
your onward flight must be confirmed, and must depart within 24 hours; and
you have proper documentation for your destination, including a visa if necessary

Additionally, if you are a national of country covered by the DATV system, you (or a person with whom you arrive in the UK) must hold:

1) a valid entry visa for Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA, and a valid airline ticket for travel via the UK, as part of a journey to or from one of those countries; or
2) a valid airline ticket for travel via the UK as part of a journey from Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA, if you are transiting the UK no more than 6 months after the date when you last entered Australia, Canada, New Zealand or the USA with a valid entry visa for that country; or
3) a valid USA I-551 permanent resident card issued on or after 21 April 1998; or
4) an expired I-551 permanent resident card issued on or after 21 April 1998, accompanied by an I-797 extension letter issued by the Bureau of Citizenship; or
5) a valid Canadian permanent resident card issued on or after 28 June 2002; or
6) a valid Australian or New Zealand residence visa; or
7) a valid uniform format category D visa for entry to a state in the European Economic Area (EEA); or
8) a valid uniform format residence permit issued by an EEA state under Council Regulation (EC) number 1030/2002; or
9) a valid UK residence card; or
10) a valid EEA family permit issued by the UK government; or
11) a diplomatic or service passport issued by the People's Republic of China; or
12) a diplomatic or official passport issued by India; or
13) a diplomatic or official passport issued by Vietnam.

A valid US immigrant visa packet (form 155A/155B) is a 'valid visa' for these purposes, but the following documents are not valid for the DATV exemption:

an I-512 parole letter or an I-797C (notice of action) instead of a valid US visa.
a transportation letter instead of a valid US permanent resident card issued on or after 21 April 1998;
a valid travel document with a US 'ADIT' stamp saying - 'Processed for I-551. TEMPORARY EVIDENCE OF LAWFUL ADMISSION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE VALID UNTIL [date]. EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZED'; and
a US visa foil endorsed, "NOT A VISA. FOIL PREPARED AT DHS REQUEST".

If you are a national of a DATV country and you hold a non-national (including refugee) travel document, you will need to get a visa to transit the UK landside unless you qualify for one of the exemptions listed above.

Please note that this concession is operated at the UK Border Agency's discretion. Our officers may therefore prevent you from using the concession. If you are unsure whether you meet the concession's criteria, you should get a visa before you travel.
