Hello everyone.
Came in through IAD on the 31st via Egyptair with F1 visa. I got a very cheap flight . 248k
Everything was good but the official collected the herbs (wood) and my dried ilorin pomo. She said woods and meat are not allowed. I was sad but the way she was polite about it and all prevented me from looking at her one kind. It is very cold here at Baltimore.

Was it a one-way ticket you got? 248k is a really good price.

You're welcome bro... It was nice doing business with you.

Pls I need your help with tickets. I've sent you a mail. Thanks

Pls can I get winter jackets?

seyewest:


You don't need a visa but I believe you can get a cheaper fare to Atlanta with Emirates, Qatar and even BA.

Really! I will PM you soon. Thanks so much. You people are doing a really good job with this thread. I've been following anonymously since. I'm sure many people are like me.

Wow! Why will they tell you that? Or is it the type of ticket that requires you changing airport in Paris, maybe CDG to ORLY or something? As long as you are not changing airports, no wahala. I think I had a technical stop from DXB at Milan Malpensa enroute JFK earlier in the year sef, all that happened was just one airside check like that and we were back in the plane without ish. But trust me, if the price is right and you are not required to change airport in the schengen zone, you don't need no transit visa, you will be just fine. Go ahead please!

Thanks so much. It's the same airport as shown in the picture.

Pls does it matter if I buy a one-way or return ticket? It's an immigrant visa. The return ticket is cheaper.

A layover typically refers to a connection point between cities, sometimes as short as 30 minutes or as long as 23 hours, whereas a stopover refers to staying longer than 24 hours in any given city when traveling internationally (on domestic itineraries, the limit is reduced to four hours.
If you have a stopover in Paris and want to exit the airport into the city, I believe you will need the Schengen. But if you choose to remain in the airport all through, you do not need it. If you have a layover (most Nigerian passengers and travel agents call this stopover), then you don't need a Schengen visa.

Whao!!! This is quite informative. I never knew there was a difference. That means it's a layover that I'm talking about. Maybe the wakanow customer care misunderstood me too. Thanks for the explanation.

Not correct if you are a Nigeria Passport holder, have a US visa and are headed to the the US on transit via one schengen airport only. You will only have problem if your transit is say in Paris and in Amsterdam also on one of the legs of the trip, that will be transiting two schengen countries, it won’t work to the best of my knowledge.

Thanks for the response bro. My Google search also showed that transit visa is not needed except one is transiting in two Schengen countries. However, I asked wakanow and I was told I would need a transit visa. I guess I will just avoid anything that has to do with Schengen countries so as to avoid stories.

Hello house. I heard that one will need Transit Visa if your ticket has a stopover in Paris. How true is this please. I observed that Air France and KLM usually have stopover in Paris.
