A transit visa is designed for travellers passing through a country en route to another destination. It is usually issued for a short duration, ranging from a few hours to a few days, and strictly prohibits activities beyond the transit purpose, such as sightseeing or work.

Applicants must provide a confirmed onward ticket and, in some cases, proof of valid entry permissions (e.g., a visa) for their final destination. Transit visas may be required even for connecting flights if a traveller needs to leave the international airport or if the layover exceeds a certain period.

This visa ensures smooth travel through countries with strict immigration policies and is essential for seamless connections during international journeys. It is recommended to check specific requirements with the respective consulate or embassy before planning your trip.
