ginnu, I did transit through paris In Feb 2004. I did not take any transit
visa as I stayed inside the transit lounge @ charles de gaule airport in Paris. I was on H1 visa at that time. The poster here wants to enter US on AP. I dont understand why this person is required transit visa. If she dosent
want to travel outside the airport then why transit visa is required?

My current case: I'm travelling next week through Amsterdam and
I cheked on US Dutch embassy website and it says for Indian citizens transiting through Amsterdam transit visa is not required.

http://www.netherlands-embassy.org.uk/consulaptv_eng.htm

I've both valid H1 and AP. Whats ur call on this?

Check on their website which will give you useful information. It also depends on what passport you hold[country specific]. If you dont get a clear answer call the Italian
embassy in Washington,DC.

Even I am travelling on Nov 1st through Amsterdam. I dont have H1-B stamp but will use AP. You are right no need of transit visa.
Also I think we should refrain ourselves from travelling through the countries which need transit visa ex UK, Germany, France and hurt their business. :mad:
 
Hathwar - Are u sure about AP instead of transit Visa

Hi

I am in the similar situation going to india via paris, H1 Extension is approved but not yet stamped (Previous one is expired). can I use AP instead of Airtransit visa and/or approved H1, specially while going to India

France embassy says if your USA visa is expired on passport(india) , you need a airtransit visa. Though I didn't aks about AP instead.

If you are sure, please share the source of Info.

Thanks

You dont need a transit visa for France if u r Indian citizen and hold a
valid unexpired US Visa. Check out following link

http://www.consulfrance-washington.org/visas/visasen.htm#8


Same rule applies for Germany/UK if you are Indian citizen. ie. no airport transit visa is required if you have valid unexpired US visa.

In our case current visa is expired and new one is not stamped yet

Hi fast_gc_seeker / All

I visited the link posted by you, In our case current visa is expired and new one is not stamped yet.

Though its mentioned

"However, no airport transit visa is required if the citizens of the above-mentioned countries have a "refugee travel document", an "alien residency card", or a "permit to reenter" (Form I-327 rev: 06-13-96) issued by the USA "

So if one is having AP , which is permit to reenter..... I hope that should work.

Please help

Thanks

AP should work
 
fast_gc_seeker /All
I'm planing to travel next week via UK and asked them wether I need Direct Air Side Visa or not and they replied that I must have visa on AP. Also If you look on supporting documents, they mentioed that you may send AP/EAD..., So question is, If one has Approved AP, why he/she needs visa?

Thank you
 
Hi All,
I am travelling through London on my AP in few weeks. On the way back i have to stay in airport for like 20 hours and not intending to leave outside the ariport. I called the British counsulate and they told me if im not leaving outside of airport i dont need any other visas. Is that true? Has anyone done that before??? Please help
