Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Order amends the Immigration (Passenger Transit Visa) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/2702) which requires certain passengers to hold a transit visa to pass through the United Kingdom without entering whilst transiting to another country.

Schedule 1 to that Order sets out a list of countries or territories whose nationals or citizens need transit visas, and this Order substitutes “Palestine” for “Palestinian Territories” on that list.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private or voluntary sector or community bodies is foreseen.
