transit visa for uk trip via amsterdam

Post by gemhall85 » Sat Mar 22, 2014 3:45 pm

Hi,

A Peruvian national travelling on a tourist visa to UK Northern Ireland as there is no direct flights for travel to the UK from Peru, and I would like to know if chose to fly the least flight time Lima direct to Amsterdam with a connection flight to Belfast, do we need a transit visa for entering airport and staying only in airport waiting on connection flight. Or can you travel onto UK without this visa.some sites say yes you do require one but others say no. Confused :-)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Regards G

If you want to see the exact system airlines use for this kind of question, it's located here:

I put in:
Nationality: Peru
Departing from: Peru
Destination: UK
Transiting through: Netherlands
TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets transiting

For details, click here by the same or first connecting aircraft:
- WARNING: TWOV is not possible when arriving from a
non-Schengen Member State AND departing to a Schengen Member

State For details, click here
That means you can transit without a visa as long as you have just one stop in Amsterdam to switch planes.
