  • Is a Canadian work permit holder exempt from UK DATV?

    My wife and I are returning to India for good and will be flying via Heathrow on September 25, 2013. We hold an Indian passport. Both of us have a valid Canadian work permit. And in my case, I even have a Canadian visitor visa, but her visa expired in September 2012 and she didn't need to renew it for staying in Canada.

    We only have a 6 hour layover at Heathrow and have valid air tickets for further journey to India.

    Given that my wife's Canada visa has expired (though she still has a valid work permit), will she wife require a UK transit visa? And if yes, is it worth the risk to go ahead without a visa? It appears that applying for a DATV online is a real pain (and of course an unnecessary cost).

    Any suggestion or views from people with similar experience is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Harish

    I'm sorry my friend, the work visa doesn't have any kind of exempt.
