I am a South African national, traveling on a South African passport. I hold a B type residence permit from Belgium. Is this the same as a common format residence permit? I also hold a valid US visa.



I am traveling from Brussels via London Heathrow (2 hr transit)on to Johannesburg. Am I exempt from a Direct Airside Transit Visa?

          "Common format" refers to the physical form of your permit, not the category. If your permit is a plastic card with a bull on it, it is a common-format permit.



          Furthermore, even if your residence permit is not in the common format, your valid US visa exempts you from the DATV requirement regardless of your destination.



          See https://www.gov.uk/check-uk-visa/y/south-africa/transit/somewhere_else/no:




          You don’t need a visa if you have one of the following:



          • a visa for Canada, New Zealand, Australia or the USA (this can be used for travel to any country)

          ...



          • a common format residence permit issued by an European Economic Area (EEA) country or Switzerland
