According to the latest news from Worldway Group: Holders of Portuguese or Spanish residency status do not need to apply for a UK transit visa when transiting through the UK. The above information is sourced from the official UK government visa website, with the relevant notice as follows:
Including Portuguese Golden Residence status and Spanish residency status, if a client holds a uniform format residence permit (within its validity period) issued by any member state of the European Economic Area (EEA), or holds a uniform format Category D visa (within its validity period) issued by an EEA member state, they do not need to apply for a Direct Airside Transit Visa when transiting through the UK. The convenience and travel advantages of residency status in countries such as Portugal and Spain have been reaffirmed once again.
In 2014, European immigration programs, represented by the Portuguese 500,000 Euro Golden Residence Permit program and the Spanish 500,000 Euro property investment immigration program, were in full swing. Portugal is a modern Western European country; its Golden Residence Permit not only allows investors to quickly obtain a European pass but also meets the dual requirements of investors for study and work. Spain is a world-renowned top vacation paradise where purchased properties can be passed down through generations. By obtaining a residence visa and joining the local social security system, one can enjoy the high-standard welfare conditions of the European Union. Worldway Group immigration experts state that with the development of economic globalization, more and more Chinese investors need international status to support their lives and careers; therefore, cost-effective European investment immigration projects are receiving significant attention.
As a leading domestic institution for European investment immigration, Worldway Group is the only Chinese immigration agency with an independent office in Portugal. The new premises of the Worldway Group European Customer Service Center cover nearly 400 square meters and are located in the most prosperous area of Lisbon, allowing European immigration clients to enjoy more comprehensive and meticulous immigration services.
