UK Transit - 51$

[ravidhya]

This is what is called day-time robbery... What are they providing for transit passengers? Lunch and VIP treatment ?
Other countries charge around 10$ to 15$ for the same 2 hour hastle we are put through during the transit (running from one gate to another)

Don't they charge 51$ in the Night time during Transit

Consider travelling thorough other air ports. There are many other air ports which do not require transit visa.

Talk about Consistency

I send email to German Consulate in Chicago and San Francisco stating I got Passport stamped for LPR and waiting for actual card and should I need a transit visa!.


Both replied, one said Yes and other said NO...
can something go right in this world!!!

Is transit visa required if you have received the actual Green Card?

I am travelling thru Frankfurt.

 

[ravidhya]

No

If you have the physical card, then you do not need a transit visa.

Any valid entry status (H1, H4, GC, etc...) require no transit visa.

Only AP and passport stamps requires transit visas....

rk-visa-1000@chic.auswaertiges-amt.de

and got replies from them.. but never able to get hold of them over phone

you should get visa before boarding the flight, check which jurisdiction does your state fall under from the above link

If you have AP you do not need a transit Visa in Frankfurt. My friend went and came back with out any problem. Infact I just picked him at the airport today.

transit visa not required in Amsterdam

If you have AP, then you don't need a transit visa in Amsterdam. We just travelled on KLM a couple of months ago. So, please consider alternate airports instead of getting ripped off.

Case by case

I hear different experiences daily. So better check with consulate and get some kind of document (email or web page print out),so you will be able to cover up in case they question you at airport.

You dont know what will happen. To be out of issues, I am getting a tourist visa in singapore and staying there for 3 days.

No Transits haha
