Is it possible to obtain a transit visa at Heathrow Airport? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Is there a way to find out if I need a transit visa for a layover in the UK?
2 answers
I am an Iranian national travelling with British Airways from Tehran, Iran via Heathrow Airport, London to Shanghai, China. I will arrive at LHR on 28th at 11:55am and depart at 14:10pm without changing terminals.
If I need a transit visa, can I obtain one at Heathrow Airport?
I am scared that British Airways have stopped a few people from boarding flights.
Also, do I need a transit visa to enter the UK?
I want to do some sightseeing.
What are the chances of getting past officials using transit without visa concession?

Regarding sightseeing, you're planning to be on the ground for just over 2 hours, which is about the time we'd advice you to aim to get back to the airport. If you want to see the sights of London, try to get a window seat on the way to London and hope your flight lands from the east.

A two-hour connection isn't enough for sight-seeing anywhere in the world.

This isn't a duplicate. It's specifically asking about getting a visa at the airport.

You need a "direct airside transit visa" (DATV) to connect at Heathrow, and visas are never issued at UK airports, ever.
While theoretically you could get through the international connections corridor at Heathrow undetected without a DATV, the check-in staff in Tehran is particularly responsible to make sure they don't transport you without the proper documentation. So if you don't have a DATV, you're not getting on the flight to London.
So, again, you need a DATV.
