Answer 2

Transit Visa
Transit Visa are valid for halts of up to 72 hours in India within 15 days from the date of issue of the visa and must be obtained before departure. Transit Visa cannot be obtained from immigration counters at ports of entry in India. Evidence of onward travel to a destination outside India is required.

Entry Visa
Entry Visa are issued to persons of Indian origin for a duration of up to 5 years. These can be obtained, depending on the purpose of visit and eligibility, on a case by case basis.

Please Note: Persons holding long term Visa (having validity exceeding 6 months) are normally not expected to stay in India more than 6 months during each visit. Please refer to the boxed note further down for requirement to register with the Foreigners Registration Office (FRO)/Foreigners Regional Registration Office (FRRO).

Visa Exemption Letters for Minors
Visa Exemption Letters previously granted to children of Indian origin (for a maximum validity of 90 days from the date of issue) have been discontinued since 1 July 1999. Visa Exemption Letters issued in the past are hence no longer valid. All children holding separate passports are now required to obtain regular Visa.

It is not a gouvernmental site, but it seem to be kept up to date.
Always check just before traveling unless you hold visa, as the situations do change, and when they do you do not get an advance notice.

(We did get caught once by a change that was announced just before midnight starting immediately, with us traveling from 6 in the morning.)

Visa required, even in direct airside transit.

Exemptions apply when holding visas for Australia, Canada,
New Zealand, U.S.A. and E.E.A. countries (TIRGL/EEA )and
TWOV is then permitted.

Type of transit visa required depends on type of journey:
- if passenger is in transit with same-day, same-airport
transfer, "A-Direct Airside Transit" visa (DATV) is required.
This visa must be obtained prior to arrival in the UK and
will allow the passenger to transit between terminals at the
same UK airport as the passenger remains airside;
- if passenger is in transit and must change airport in the
U.K., or has an overnight stop in U.K., a valid U.K. visa
with any endorsement other than "Direct Airside Transit
Visa" is required;
- if passenger is in transit to the Channel Isl., Isle of
Man, or Ireland (Rep. of), a valid U.K. visa with any
endorsement other than "Direct Airside Transit Visa" or
"Visitor in Transit Visa" is required.

Minors:
if children are registered in parent's or guardian's passport:
- they may not travel without holder of passport; and
- visa in passport (if required) must indicate it is also valid
for the child(ren).

Non-compliance with transit requirements (incl. forged
documents) results in fines for carrier of GBP 2,000.- per
passenger and either deportation or indefinite delay for
passenger at point of transit (detention costs at carrier's
expense).

Minors:
if children are registered in parent's or guardian's passport:

Flights from/to United Kingdom to/from Channel Islands, Ireland
(Rep. of) and the Isle of Man are domestic flights therefore
there is no immigration control.
