Green card holder travel

[TheAkazs 22]

Hello everyone.

 

I don't remember if I've posted this before but it had been a while since I had been on here. With a weak signal on my phone, I'm unable to search the answer I was seeking, so I figured I'd ask the question again. 

 

We r in Morocco on an unexpected vacation and we are getting on a final flight out of Morocco to London this week.

 

My question is since my husband is a green card holder, would he need a visa to stay overnight in London?

 

My husband doesn't want me to sleep overnight at the airport, due to me being pregnant and our baby girl. That's why I wonder if it's a requirement for him to get a visa to sleep at a hotel in London...

 

Thank you in advance!

Yes, he is going to need a visa to leave the airport and stay overnight in London.  In fact, according to the UK website, he is going to need an airside transit visa if the plane leaves after midnight the next day.  This is something that has to be applied for in advance as they will require you to get your fingerprints and a photograph taken at an application center.  The airline is not going to let you board the plane without this visa.

actually if there is a transit hotel that you can stay in at the airport he will not need a transit visa.

 

Check if you need a UK visa

Will you pass through UK border control?

You always pass through border control if you:

• leave the main airport building for any reason
• need to collect your bags and check them in to your onward flight

You must also pass through border control if both:

• your onward flight leaves on a different calendar day to when you arrive
• there’s nowhere for you to stay overnight in the airport, for example in a transit hotel

US citizens and green card holders can still fly from the UK.

Actually there's a final flight coming this week going to London from Morocco.

I got an email from the consulate regarding a final flight to London from Morocco. That's why I was asking whether my husband will need a visa or not.

Yes, he is not leaving the airport without a visa.  I posted the the link to the UK visa website.

 

He will also possibly need an airside transit visa, which has to be applied for in advance, unless he meets the exceptions posted above as well.
