I am a Gambian, traveling from Malaysia to Dakar, Senegal via Amsterdam and Istanbul. Do I need a transit visa for Amsterdam if the connection time is less than 24 hours?



Best Answer

No, you can probably transit without a visa.

A Timatic search using the Emirates site says:

Transit - Netherlands (NL)

Visa
Visa required.

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Holders of onward tickets transiting by the same or first connecting aircraft:

So unless your transit time exceeds 24 hours, you don't need a visa.

BTW, you didn't ask about Turkey, but you can transit there without visa if the transit time is less than 24 hours.
