Entry rules for Chad passport holders
Chadian citizens must obtain a visa before traveling to United Kingdom. Applications generally go through a United Kingdom embassy or consulate and require a completed form, passport photos, proof of accommodation and onward travel, and sometimes travel insurance. Start the process several weeks before your planned trip, as processing times vary.
Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official United Kingdom immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.
How this compares
The Chadian passport ranks #166 worldwide, opening 50 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (22 visa-free, 27 with a visa on arrival and 1 with an eTA). United Kingdom is not among them — it is one of the 106 destinations that still require an embassy visa or an application before departure.
The arrangement is reciprocal: British citizens traveling to Chad face the same requirement (visa required).
Northern Europe is closed to spontaneous travel for Chadian passport holders: none of its 10 destinations can be entered without an application first.
