I'm on H1b visa and am planning to travel to my home country. There is a layover at Heathrow airport in London for 3 hours. Do I need a transit Visa?

You generally need a visa for transit at Heathrow. However if you have a valid U.S visa, you won’t need a U.K transit visa.

There is a rule change recently in UK (after Brexit) for Indian. I assume with US visa you should be good. But still check the rules. We faced issues with one of my colleagues couple of months backz airline refused to get her in.

One could answer this based on assumptions of your nationality but an accurate answer is impossible to provide without knowing what passport you are travelling on. .

For all I know you could be an Australian on H1B travelling home the long way, in which case you wouldn't need a visa to transit (or enter the country at) Heathrow.

My father is a green card holder from Eastern Europe. We had an overnight layover. They would not let us leave the terminal. This was ten years ago
