On the 29th of January I landed in the UK.



On the morning of the 31st of January, I left the UK to Norway.



Was my time in the UK short enough to be defined as transit? I was only there to switch airports and catch a flight to Oslo. I'm asking as I am filling out a working visa application and I want to define this correctly.



Should I list this as 2 or 3 days?



Thank you!

  • Easy part of the question: 3 days--every day counts. If you were admitted (I assume you couldn't stay airside), how many days were you given? If it was the usual 6 mo or even 30 days, it wasn't transit.

  • @mkennedy I was given the usual 6 months. But this was after I had already been in the UK for a while earlier. I made it clear to the immigration officer I was only staying for three days. As she was wondering why I was back so soon. I told her I was only there to go from Gatwick to Heathrow and catch a flight to Oslo.

It seems that you were admitted as a visitor, since you were given six months. It would still be reasonable to describe the purpose of your visit as "transit," however, since that was in fact the purpose of your visit.

    UK specifically limits transit to 48 hours



    Visitor in Transit visa




    You might need a Visitor in Transit visa if you’re from outside the
    European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland and you’ll:



    • be changing flights in the UK on your way to another country


    • go through immigration control, for example to check in your luggage for a connecting flight


    • leave the UK within 48 hours


    • not work or study while in the UK




    I would use that criteria. In your car I would say it is 3 days and hence not transit.

So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48.
