[apps]

I am travelling from NewYork to Bombay via Amsterdam(4 hour stop).
My H1 visa on the passport has expired, hence I would like to know
if any transit visa is required..?

Does any one has faced any problem travelling via Amsterdam.

Any suggestion will be of great help.

You don't need transit visa for Amsterdum.
But to make sure you can check consulate website.

I am also in same situation, my H1 visa on passport expired and I am going to get visa stampped in india. I am also going thru Amsterdam. Netherland Embassy website is not very helpful in finding out if we need transit visa in this situation. I appreciate if anyone who has gone thru similar situation let us know. Thanks in advance.

I found the following information from their website at:

Airport Transit VISA
An Airport Transit visa is not required for Indian Passport holders.

For other nationals who require an airport transit visa, the following documents need to be submitted:
1. A valid visa for the country of destination (a photocopy of the visa should be attached);
2. A confirmed ticket for the onward destination.
An airport transit visa entitles the holder to enter the international transit area of the airport but not the territory of The Netherlands.

I checked with Netherlands consulate and for Indian passport holder No air transit visa is required.
