A Visitor in Transit visa is valid for 48 hours and allows you to change terminals and pass through the UK Border Control.  The Visitor in Transit visa is designed for travellers who need to re-check their luggage or catch a connecting flight at a different airport (e.g. If you land at Gatwick Airport and your onward flight departs from Heathrow Airport).  You will only be allowed to stay in the UK for 48 hours. If you are going to Ireland, you are eligible for this visa. You are not allowed to visit family and friends with this visa or go touring with it.
