Do we have to get the new UK visa form thing or only if we have to go through security in the UK? If we land at Terminal 3 and leave from Terminal 2, do we have to leave/go through immigration?
A UK ETA is not required for international-international transit at LHR (however, if there is a disruption having a UK ETA can be helpful). You will not need to go through immigration at LHR. When you land at T3, follow the purple flight connection signs which will lead you to the bus to T2. On arrival at T2, you will have to go back through security, but you won't have to go through immigration.
