This is probably a silly question. If a thai gets a visitors visa to the U.K. and the flight is not direct, i.e. has a 3 hour stop in Dubai or Amsterdam, will any additional visas be required?

I live in Scotland and have previously flown to Thailand direct from London and then a separate flight to Glasgow. If successful with visa application for girlfriend I would get her a flight “direct” to Glasgow that stops in Dubai or Amsterdam. I’m not sure if she would go through any immigration checks during a stopover.

Simple answer. No they don't need a visa.

As long as they are in transit and not leaving the airport

No you will not need any further visa's as you stay airportside and just transfer planes

No problem....

Over the years i have met and an occasions been asked to help local airline staff in Amsterdam (China Air-KLM-BM-etc)to point some single non angrit speaking Thai femails in the direction of their "Amores"countries.

Posted before that one young "nubblie"had a ticket to Denmark but Via Amsterdam and then Sweden (or was it Finland)...but she didnt have a clue...

As long as they remain in International (waters)till they get to the final ticket/visa/approved destination then OK.

There are some slight exceptions but within the United States of Europe ...OK...........that includes Scotland...
