Does the NEW rtd require a visa to germany? Does anyone have a written proof so i can show it to the airline people? Also do i need a transit visa if i am going to germany through the UK?

Thanks
 
Yes and No

Just went to Germany this summer. You don't need a visa. German consulate will give you a letter stating that. Make sure they do - sometimes they get confused on RTD vs. Advance Parole.

Secondly, I do think you need a transit visa for the UK. They have a good web site -look it up and make sure you get it all right.

Finally, before the day of your flight, make sure they clear you at the airline. Or get there early. Idiots at Delta would not let me on the flight b/cause they had not seen a RTD before. Ditto for letter from German consulate.

Good luck - have a great time!
 
Do you have a copy of the letter you can send to me? German consulate isn't close to where I Live..and would have to waste a day to go there. I emailed them but they haven't responded...
