Transiting Amsterdam with single entry Schengen visa for Norway? [duplicate]
I hold a Fiji Passport and I have obtained a Schengen Visa for Norway. It is a short stay visa and is for single entry only.
I will be transiting Amsterdam while going to Norway; will my Schengen short stay visa for single entry in Norway be sufficient to guarantee me an air-side transit in Amsterdam?
Best Answer
Actually, the rules for airside transit do not apply. You will simply enter the Schengen area in Amsterdam. After that, you won't have any entries left on your visa but you can still fly to Norway. By contrast, you could not go to the UK and reenter the Schengen area, even if you just wanted to transit airside in the UK.
As far as the number of entries is concerned, you could therefore just as well leave the airport, spend a week in Amsterdam and fly to Norway after that or even tour several Schengen countries before reaching Norway. As it's all part of the Schengen area, there would only be one entry. For non-stop flights between the Netherlands and Norway, there won't be any border check or stamping of your passport and a single-entry visa is therefore sufficient.

Can you travel to multiple Schengen countries with single entry visa?
Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.Can you transit through two Schengen countries?
