Do i need a transit visa for a flight that goes from Belgium to Ecuador and has a stop on London? I have a Belgian Residence Permit valid for a year because I'm a student, I have only the Residence Permit card and the visa in my passport is expired.

Your residence permit was valid for a longer duration that the visa? Can you mention exact dates?– Aditya SomaniCommented Jul 22, 2014 at 13:28

1@AdityaSomani Exact Dates may not matter as long as it is valid at the time of the travel.– KarlsonCommented Jul 22, 2014 at 13:33

In addition are you traveling on a Single Itinerary or did you buy tickets TO London and TO Ecuador separately?– KarlsonCommented Jul 22, 2014 at 13:34

A common format residence permit looks like this.
