Transit Visas

It is the traveler's responsibility to inquire if a transit visa will be needed for stopovers in other countries. Many countries/airports process transit visas at the airport itself; however, some transit visas must be issued in advance from the traveler's home country by the applicable consulate of that country. Since these rules and regulations are subject to change from time to time, it is recommended to check the requirements before travelling.
