Can the traveller remain airside, and under what circumstances must immigration control be crossed?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm whether the traveller can stay airside and when immigration control must be crossed.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- Searched the Act, Regulations and captures for airside transit or when immigration control must be crossed; nothing found. The same-conveyance exemption concerns visas, not airside transit.
What officially documented baggage collection, terminal, separate-ticket or self-transfer situations affect the immigration requirement?
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the baggage, terminal-change and self-transfer rules.
See recorded sources
Limits of the record- The checked official sources do not establish baggage collection, separate-ticket, terminal-change or self-transfer rules.
What maximum transit period, overnight, airport-change or multiple-stop rules matter?
One transit category requires confirmed onward departure within seven days; an in-transit pass may authorise a stay not exceeding 14 days. The official source does not state airport-change or multiple-stop rules.

If permission is required, what permission is it, where/how is it obtained, and what core onward-travel evidence is required?
A qualifying traveller applies for an in-transit pass using Form 31, and the pass is issued as Form 38. The official source does not state where the application is made or the onward-travel evidence required.
