Do we need an airport transit visa to wait in 3 different airports in Europe, if the final destination is Brazil?
I am Brazilian and my fiancé is Filipino. We are planning to go to Brazil from Singapore, and the few cheap flights we found have 3 different stops in 3 different European countries: London, Romania, and Portugal. We are only going to wait in these airports for the next flight. Does it require us a transit visa? We won't dispatch any luggage, just bring hand bags with us.
The flight itinerary is SIN > LGW > OPT > LIS > POA. This is the image:
Best Answer
Your connection seems to consist of three tickets:
- SIN to LGW with Norwegian
- LGW to OTP with Wizz Air
- OPT to POA with TAP
Every airline will see their tickets separately and check that you have the right to enter the destination countries to check you in. Thus, with your connection, you will need to have permission to enter the countries UK, Romania, and Brazil. A visa for Portugal is not required.
You should check the visa/entry requirements for each ticket separately.

A transit visa is a travel document allowing you to pass through another country until you reach your destination. For example, if you are traveling from India to the US, but you need to stop in the Schengen Zone to continue your flight for the US, you require a transit visa for the Schengen Area.Do I need a transit visa if I have two layovers in Europe?

Answer 2
For the UK they won't need a visa if they will not go through passport control. If they do, they will need a transit visa.
If not going through passport control.
If going through passport control.
They also won't need one for Romania if you they stay in the international area of the airport. See here
The only country in the Schengen area a Filipino would need an airside transit visa is France, so Portugal will be fine if they stay airside. See here.
So as long as your fiancé stays airside during the connections they will be fine without any transit visas.
