I’m a Filipino citizen. My flight goes from Vancouver to Manila via Tokyo Haneda. I will arrive in Japan at 6pm then depart at 9am the next day. I'm not planning to go out of the airport during my layover, so I don't see a need to have a transit visa. However, I called the Consulate-General of Japan here in Canada, and they asked me to get a transit visa.  Then I called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Japan and asked them the same question.. at first, they told me I don’t need a visa as long as I stay inside the airport, but when I told them that the Consulate-General of Japan in Canada asked me to get a visa, they also asked me to get one.  I'm so confused. I would like to know your knowledge or experience regarding this.

Quoting from   Please check whether you are eligible for Transit Visa / Pass or not. The following are conditions for the said visa / pass: (i)         Indian visitor(s) who enter / depart to / from the country from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT)  only; (ii)         Visitor must possess a valid visa (Single Entry / Multiple Entry) from the destination country (only Australia, U.S.A., China, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and Taiwan); (iii)        Visitor must possess a valid passport / travel document with an expiry date of not less than 6 months on the date of visit; (iv)        Visitor is not listed among those barred from entering Malaysia; (v)         Visitor must be in possession of a confirmed ticket to a third country; (vi)        Visitor must be able to finance his/her stay in Malaysia; (vii)       Visitor MUST visit the country in group (package tour) and the trip is either a packaged tour in Malaysia or in the destination country; and  We are a group of 3. 2 of us will hold a tourist visa from the destination country(Japan) and one with a residence card. Are we eligible for the Transit Pass? However What does the point (vii) mean group (package tour)? should this also contain accommodation (Hotel). My plan was to book an accommodation myself and visit places on my own? Also point (vi) how are we suppose to prove our finances? As it simply states must be able to finance. Edit: I am planning to book a ticket in such a way that I can spend 24 hrs in KUL and fly to Tokyo. A night in the hotel and day to visit places. I will be booking my tickets in Malaysia Airlines

My wife, a Chinese citizen living in the United Kingdom under a spousal visa, will be travelling from London to Beijing next summer. She has a layover at Boryspil Airport for a little over 4 hours. She is flying both into and out of the airport with Ukraine International Airlines, which  says that all of its flights arrive and depart from Terminal D. I  that a transit visa is needed for Chinese citizens. However, I also read that , but no evidence seems to be offered for that claim. Is a transit visa required if she stays in Terminal D for the entirety of the layover? If not, where are the official sources stating that staying in the terminal is permissible without such a visa?

Do I need visa for Paris, if my connecting flight stops at Paris for 24hrs and I want to visit Paris during that 24hrs? I have US B1 visa. I'll be travelling from San Francisco to Bangalore (India) via Paris. I hold Indian passport. If yes, what is the procedure for that visa?

I am a Chinese national holding a US greencard. I am planning on traveling to the UK and the Schengen area to visit France, Germany, and possibly some countries in between. I am applying for a UK visa and a single entry Schengen visa now. On my journey to the UK I am stopping in Copenhagen for a day. Do I need a transit visa for that? Should I apply for a multiple entry Schengen visa, or is that too much? My guess is a transit visa for Denmark and a separate single entry visa would be easier to apply for.

I am an Indian citizen and currently staying in United States on J-1 Exchange Visitor visa. I will be traveling from Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to New Delhi (India) on 19th July. I have a layover of 22 hours at Narita Airport. I do not plan leave the terminal, both my incoming and departure flight are from Terminal 2 at Narita airport. I have booked the flights through Japan Airlines.    Will I be requiring a transit visa?  I have heard of some rules change at Narita Airport, hence asking this as a separate question.  Also, if the visa is required is it possible to get it at on arrival at NRT or do I need to apply for visa at the Japanese Embassy at Houston?

I'm hoping to get a flight which requires me to be in China for 28 hours before the connecting flight out.  I'm happy to sit in transit if I have to.  However, I've read one site that said 12 hours is the maximum transit permitted.  Can anyone find either:   Definitive information saying how long transit in Beijing/Shanghai airports are for Or can I get a transit visa on arrival, in which case I'll go check out the city for a day ;)   I'm on a New Zealand passport if it makes a difference.  Failing all that I'll pick up a visa in Mongolia en-route, I'd just rather not have to waste a few days doing so if I don't have to!

I am a Kazakh passport holder.   I'm travelling from Delhi via SpiceJet to Dubai, landing at Terminal 1 in the early morning. On the same day in the late evening I have a flight to Astana via flydubai from Terminal 2. I do not have a Dubai visa.  Can I transit from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 without a visa?   I am asking because of many variations to this question. Some say a visa is necessary, others write its an internal transfer by bus not requiring visa. So, I am confused.

I have a flight booking from San Jose, USA to Frankfurt, Germany. The itinerary has a transit through Charles de Gaulle, Paris. Since this will be my first stop in the Schengen Region, will I have to go through Passport control at Paris?   My concern is that my flight has a transit time of 90 minutes at CDG. Will this be enough to go through whatever administrative steps are required?  EDIT: I'm an Indian citizen with a Long-Term residence visa for Germany.

I am travelling to Budapest and therefore have a Schengen Visa. I hold an Indian passport and a valid US visa. I'm travelling from Chicago-Heathrow-Budapest and returning by Budapest-Dublin-Chicago.  Would I need a transit visa for UK/Ireland?  UPDATE  Hoping this will help someone someday.   I was not allowed to board my return flight (BUD-DUB-ORD) because I do not hold an overnight Irish Transit Visa. They said I could have transited happily if the connecting flight was in the same day, but because I would have to originally land at 10 PM and catch the connecting flight next morning at 10 AM, I needed a transit visa. Well, I thought it was BS, but couldn't help comply with the rules. I booked another last minute ticket and flew via Warsaw via LOT.

This question is similar to  but broader.  If you depart from North America, how can you reach any East Asian destination by cruise, ferry, cargo ship or anything that doesn't fly?   Are there regular cruises Seattle - Hawaii - Tokyo? Or something similar?

I am an Indian travelling from Cochin to Beijing via Kuala Lumpur, using Air Asia. My flight has a layover in Kuala Lumpur of about 10 hours. While booking, it was mentioned that I will need a transit visa in Malaysia and I need to check out and again check in.   Do I need a transit visa?

What are the formalities to get a transit visa? Is that straightforward?   Kindly guide me.

I'm from Guatemala and planning to go to Jakarta and most of the flights go through China. I've read about the 24 hour Transit Without Visa (TWOV) program available for most countries. Does this apply to me if the flight from LAX has two stops in China?   Los Angeles (LAX) > Qingdao (TAO) > Xiamen (XMN) > Jakarta (CGK)  The flight arrives in TAO at 5am and goes to XMN at 7am.  Then, it arrives at XMN at 9:30am and leaves to CGK at 6pm.  This would amount to 13 hours in China and I have no plans to leave the airports. Would I have any problems?  Thanks for the help!
