Two-entry Schengen visa for two airport transfers in Netherlands
A friend of ours, a citizen of Ukraine, is planning a trip to Serbia (visa-free for Ukrainian citizens) with fairly long layovers both ways in Amsterdam airport (5h 30m and 10h respectively). The total trip duration is 6 days.
She would like to be able to get out in Amsterdam on both occasions to meet us (we live in AMS). As far as I can tell, she needs to apply for two-entry Schengen visa for 6 days at the Netherlands embassy/visa center.
Questions:
- Am I correct with visa type and duration?
- Does she need to book an accommodation in AMS? She's not going to stay overnight in AMS not a single time.
- Does she need to provide accommodation confirmations for Serbia?
- She has clean passport (no visas), would you consider such application risky?
P.S. When she tried to get more information from visa center, the only reply was "Go to our website".

If you are transiting through 2 different Schengen airports for onward travel to a country outside Schengen and the first transit airport is in the Netherlands, you need to apply for a short-stay Schengen visa. Airport transit visas are not valid for this purpose.Can you get a multiple entry Schengen 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".
