Transit Visa
A transit visa is a temporary visa required for travelers who are passing through a country on their way to another destination. You need a transit visa if you have a layover in a Schengen or non-Schengen country and plan to leave the airport or if your layover is longer than a certain period.
Yes, Traveller’s Cafe provides personalized assistance for obtaining transit visas for both Schengen and non-Schengen countries. We guide you through the entire application process, ensuring you have all the necessary documents and expert advice tailored to your travel route.
The documents required for a transit visa typically include a valid passport, a confirmed flight itinerary, proof of onward travel, a visa for the final destination (if required), and sometimes proof of financial means. Traveller’s Cafe helps you gather and prepare all these documents to ensure a smooth application process.
