Please Help - Schengen Airport Transit Visa for US Green Card Holder

[culepatua]

Hello,

I really need someone to confirm whether or not I need an airport transit visa considering my current situation:

• I'm a citizen and passport holder of the Dominican Republic
• I'm a permanent resident and green card holder of the United States of America
• I'm planning to travel from US to Senegal (staying there for a week on vacation)
• The flights that I found have me passing through Portugal or France.

The Portugal site doesn't list Dominican Republic as required to have an airport transit visa, however France does. Additionally, this site has the following statement:

"However, the citizens of the above-mentioned countries do not require Airport Transit visa, if any of the following requirements are met:

They have a valid residence permit issued by Andorra, Canada, Japan, San Marino, or the USA guaraneeing the holder's unconditional readmission."

My interpretation is that if I have a USA green card which guarantees that I will be readmitted to the US, then I do not need the airport transit visa. Is this correct?




Thanks.

Jose
