Frequently asked questions
Do I need a transit visa for every connection?
The requirement depends on your nationality, your route and whether you leave the airport's international transit area; we assess your case together.
Can I leave the airport with a transit visa?
An airport transit visa only allows you to remain in the transit area; leaving for the city requires a different visa.
How far in advance should I apply?
We recommend applying at least 2-3 weeks before your travel date.
