Hi all,

I am planning to travel oversees in the next few days. In iterinary it says that there is a plane change in Amsterdam, Do I need a transit visa to change planes? Also if I want to wonder around in the free zone till my second plane is ready, do I need a transit visa?

Thanks,
Spartakus

As far I know if you are GC holder and have the plastic green card, you don't need transit visa. However, if you want to go out of airport you need schengen visa.
 
I had checked the consulate web-site a couple of days ago. It stated clearly that green-card holders do not need a transit visa. However, they are required to show that they have a valid passport and greencard. I'll be going through AMS in December.
 
Another question please

Thanks all for the replies. There is an airport switch from La Guardia to JFK in NY. how close are those? Am I supposed to take a taxi or is there a shuttle or train? I do not want to go in the streets to find a cap in NY.

Thanks,

Taxi and shuttles are both there, but if you are traveling with atleast another person, taxi and shuttle cost almost same. As shuttle are not that many, you need to wait for them. But taxis are available immediately.
 
JFK and Newark airports are not that close. So, Taxi would cost you a lot. If you have time, it is good to take Shuttle or Train.

Check NJTransit or some other public transportation service. good luck
