transit visa
Layover entry document
A transit visa permits brief passage through a country en route to another destination.
It allows the holder to travel through but not to stay, work, or settle: She needed a transit visa to change planes in Frankfurt.
Transit visas typically allow stays of hours to a few days, just long enough to catch a connecting flight or cross overland.
