    Does she have a visa to enter Ireland? You can check UK transit visa requirements here gov.uk/check-uk-visa

    You must get the visa for her final destination (Ireland inis.gov.ie/en/INIS/Pages/Apply%20for%20a%20visa) first, since that is her premise for the transit visa(s).

    If your final destination is Belfast, you should know that it is in the UK, not Ireland. She is not passing through the UK at all, she is going to the UK and passing through Ireland.

    @ryan mcfaul Please edit your question to clarify the exact route, end destination, and whether the ticket will be booked as a single trip (one PNR). Also, I recommend you read this travel.stackexchange.com/questions/92121/… before applying for a UK visa

She will certainly need a USA visa, as the Orlando Airport does not have a sterile transit zone. She needs a visa for Ireland. I hope one of the UK experts can answer better, but my reading of this page is that she does not need a UK visa if she has an Irish biometric visa.

    To deal with the apparent suggestion that the final destination is Belfast. Ryanair has multiple cheap flights per day from Manchester to Belfast. Unless there was an amazing deal to Dublin going through both Orlando and Manchester, your itinerary doesn't seem reasonable. I suggest looking again at the ticket. If you are in Belfast, then of course your girlfriend needs a UK Visitors Visa, and on a more sensible itinerary, no visa for Ireland at all.

    While it's correct that Orlando has no sterile transit zone, it's more correct to observe that no US airport has one. Wherever a traveler first lands in the US, the traveler must pass through US immigration and customs.
