New UK visa rules have been introduced for travellers from Libya, Egypt and Syria transiting through UK airports. From 3 April 2012, nationals from these countries will need to apply for a Direct Airside Transit Visa (DATV).
The changes were introduced in response to threats to national and border security, according to Home Secretary Theresa May.
"We see this as a necessary measure to protect the security of our borders," she said. "The situation in Syria continues to pose a serious concern to us and the wider international community and Libya and Egypt are emerging from a period of instability."
