This is after the Passport control, so if you jump over, I don't think anything gonna happen, but it will definitely look a little bit odd to do that 😂😂😂

[@cainneachdaugherty7172]

@@JustinThailand Apparently those walls were built to funnel all passengers down a single line so security officers can "randomly" select people for an additional security screening. How do they catch people climbing over?

hello! I am flying helsinki-amsterdam and onto america. my transfer time is 50 minutes to an american flight. do you think i will make it? I am super nervous. i am landing to amsterdam around 8am march 8th, will it be crowded then? i only bring hand baggage so i do not have to worry about that.

[@JustinThailand]

If no delays or other issues, you should be fine :) You only have to go through the passport control. If there are queue at the passport control, and you running late, contact the ground staff there, and tell them you are late. They will then check your boarding pass and if you are late for your flight, they will let you pass the queue.

[@zauberer_0117]

Great video. Coming from Berlin, we are flying on to Lima with a stop in AMS. I understand that I have to go through passport control and security check between the Schengen Area and the Non-Schengen Area. But I have another question: What about the transfer gates T1 to T9 (e.g. at 3:58 and 4:44 in your video)? Do I have to go through specific counter there, or are they just numbered and it doesn't matter which one I use?

[@JustinThailand]

Yes, going from Non-Schengen to Schengen, you need to go through Security and Passport control. Going from Schengen to Non-Schengen you need to go through Passport control. I have never used or paid any attention to the T1-T9, I'm not 100% sure what that mean, but it might be transfer desk. If you have your boarding pass for the final destination, you just go to your departure gate.

[@liammcdonald6437]

Hi there when you get to gate F2 you give them klm document which one is that and did they give to you that at your first destination or did you have to print it yourself? thanks

Hi, that’s so helpful, thank you! Just to check: if I arrive from a Non-Schengen country and have to transit through Schiphol to go to another Non-Schengen country, I don’t have to go through passport control? Thank you!

Thank you Justin for the video, I still confused, we arriving from Madrid/Spain (European community member) going to Los Angeles/USA, we traveling with KLM, you know which gates will be, do we have to pass immigration, I ask because we have 1hr 10 minutes from gate to gate.

[@JustinThailand]

Hi, when arriving inside the Schengen (EU) and traveling to a country outside Schengen, you will have to go through the Passport Control. I don't know the exact gate, but it will be either gate D, E, F, G or H. 1 hr 10 minutes will normally enough time. And there will be some airport staff at the passport control, so if you are running out of time, just tell them and they will let you through.

I’m flying to Istanbul but will have a 1 hour and 10 min layover in AMS. Will I have to do security check or passport check if I’m not going to stay in Amsterdam or will I just go to my gate? I never flown out of the country like this so it’s very new to me I don’t know if that will be enough time since boarding usually closes 15 mins before so I land to AMS at 10:30 and supposed to fly out to IST at 11:40

[@JustinThailand]

It depends on where you come from. Short said, If you are doing the transit in Non Schengen area, there is no passport control. If you have to pass the Schengen area there will be passport control. From Non-Schengen to Schengen there will normally be security and passport control. From Schengen to Non-Schengen there will be only passport control. Hope this helped :) Have a nice flight :)

[@rk6483]

Thank you very much this has been so helpful! I'm flying next month from Frankfurt to Amsterdam and then to Mexico City. Do you perhaps know if I'll need some paper to "enter" the Netherlands, or do I even need it? Because I'm just connecting at AMS. I'm just scared what if they deny my entry to the Netherlands if I don't have some kind of paper or something. Does everyone have to go to F2? And is 1h35mins enough to catch my connection to Mexico City? Cheers!

[@JustinThailand]

If you are only doing a transit, you don't need any paper. Since you are going to Mexico, you will have to go through the passport control. The F2 is for pre-screening of the documents required for your final destination. So this will be different for every country. So for Mexico, I don't know, there might not be any pre-screening at all, but I don't know this. Your transit time of 1 hour 35 minutes should be enough time. If there are a long queue in front of the passport control, they will let people with short time to boarding jump the queue. But if no delays you will have plenty of time.

[@PrimalVarietyYTC]

Justin, this video is great...then...I realized, I have no clue on what to expect still....LOL....here is my situation. I normally go to the Cholchester UK every year, I fly direct from DTW (USA) to LHR. However...early next year I will be headed over to Norwich for about 3 weeks. I wanted to fly from DTW to NWI but no direct flights, So I can fly DTW via Delta, to AMS, then jump on KLM airline for my trip to Norwich (NWI)... I guess I have a few question if you are able to answer them and if you are even still looking at this thread. It looks like all fights out of AMS to NWI depart Gate D (for the delta/KLM) ticket I am looking at, so that is Schengen side (correct?). I am wondering if you have any insight as to where my arrival will be when I get to AMS? I am wondering if I arrive from the USA will it be on the Schengen Side, therefore no passport control just get off that jet and get on the other? I tried doing a flight follow of a Delta flight 132 from DTW to AMS but all it says on the app is where to pick up bags, it does not give me an arrival gate. Then looking at my flight back home from NWI to AMS Via KLM airline, I can pick either a 2 hour layover, or 5 hour layover, before jumping on the Delta Aircraft to fly back to DTW. I am assuming I should take the 5 hour layover, just incase I am delayed, and not sure where I arrive at in AMS and where I have to go to depart at AMS. Either way I am sure I can figure it out, your video was great!!!

[@JustinThailand]

Hi and thank you very much :) Ok, so the Gate D is sort of a mix Gate of both Schengen and Non-Scehngen, divided by the upper and lower floor. Since you are arriving from the US, I'm pretty sure you will arrive at the Non-Schengen area of the airport. Now, since UK has left the EU, and Schengen treaty, your departure will probably be from the Non-Schengen area. Regarding your 2 and 5 hour layover, it's always nice to have enough time to do the transit :) Airlines normally has 45 minutes as a minimum. My longest transit in Schiphol was done in 42 minutes, and that include the passport control. So 2 hour should be enough time to do a transit, but you are absolutely correct, if some delays occur its always good to have some extra time :)

[@emilyk1621]

Hi Justin … I’m traveling from Kenya to Frankfurt with a 2hour layover in AMS …which area will I arrive at? N will it be confusing for me? Kindly advise

[@kevonvideo]

You'll arrive at non-Schengen and will need to pass a passport and security filter into the Schengen-area. Just follow the gate signs, you'll be fine. Two hours is perfectly doable 👍

Hi, I'm going to Aberdeen in Scotland from Bologna Italy with KLM transfer Amsterdam, and it only takes 1 hour 1:10 minutes for the transfer, is it possible? and where should I go to which gates? I will only have hand luggage. thank you for your answer.

[@Tina-marie]

I'm doing a flight from Billind in Denmark changing here to fly back to Aberdeen in 3 weeks time and from what I've read if you walk slowly the time is 40 mins. I have 45 minutes to get through security and passport control but I'm gonna do whats suggested and if time is tight ask for help at these check points to ensure I reach my gate in time. My guess is they won't sell a flight with a short lay over time if it's impossible to get connecting flight

[@JustinThailand]

1 hour 10 minutes, if no delays, is enough time to reach your gate.

[@JustinThailand]

Yup, that's how you do it :) And, at the passport control, there is a Short Lane if you are running late, but they will check your boarding pass to see that you actually are late for your flight :)

Hey! Thank you for the video. I've been having the doubt about where do I'll have my passport control. I'm traveling to Stockholm with a 2 hour stop at Schiphol airport next week. Now I know it's gonna be in Amsterdam. I wanted to be sure because Covid restrictions in Sweden are different when entering from EU country. Do you think the 2 hours will be enough? Thanks again :)

[@JustinThailand]

Yes, 2 hour will be enough for sure :)

[@jam-pt5tz]

Hey again, Is there security between the B and D gates? Is 1 hour enough?

[@JustinThailand]

So far I have only seen security control when arriving in the Non-Schengen. So if you are travelling inside Schengen, or from Schengen to Non-Schengen I have not done any security control. Yes, if no delays 1 hour is enough. 1 hour can sometimes be tight if its long distance flight because of the early boarding and closing of the gate.

Do I follow the sign for my Gate number or the sign that says Transit T2-T-9? Thank you very much for this video!

[@JustinThailand]

Hi, you just follow All Gates/ Transit T2-T9, that will take you to the security control. After security control you turn left or right depending on your gate. Gate B, C, D, E you turn left, Gate F, G, H you turn right. But you will end up in the Non Schengen area of the airport, and you just follow the sign to your gate. Schiphol Airport is an easy airport to do transit :)

Well, normally, arriving from the outside of Schengen, and departing from the inside of Schengen, you will have to go through the security and passport control. But rumours has it, coming from US you don't have to go through the security control. In reverse, leaving Schengen, you only have to go through the passport control, but again, regarding the US, there might be a security check at the gate. But anyway, you have a lot of time to do the transfer :)

I once arived at a shengen gate, but the 'trunk' was broken, so a bus brought us all the way to the other side of the airport (in the non-shengen part). We came in through a side door in a hall, I guess next to gate H. But because we went to the non-shengen part, we had to stand in a long queue for passport control (there were no quick gates for EU/EEA-inhabitants). Also we had to walk all the way back to where our gate was for our bagage.

Hi Sophie :) You will arrive at the Non-Schengen and will have to go through the passport control for Schengen area. If its crowded, just contact the ground staff there if you running late. They will let you pass the queue, but have your boarding pass ready for inspection, because they will check it. That said, my absolute longest transitwalk in Schiphol was under 40 minutes, and I was walking at a normal pace. So 1h35 should normally be enough time to reach the gate in time. And reports im getting from Schiphol these days is, it isn't crowded inside the airport. The big queues we've been hearing about, is on the outside of Schiphol Airport. I can't give you any guarantees, but I don't think you will have any problems reaching your gate :) Have a nice flight, and have a nice stay at Ibiza :) Do come back and tell how it went in Schiphol :) If any question, do ask, and I will try my best to answer :)

About the security control, I am not sure now. If KLM tell you don't have to go through the security control, then they should be right about that.

@@grantlalala Hi Grant. You will be ok. Even though the flight to Amsterdam says 1 hour 20 the flight only takes an hour so you have extra time! You will only have to go through passport control. It takes about 10 minutes (walking fast) to get to the gate you need. Passport queues may be up to 30 minutes long, but if you have 30 minutes left before your flight there are plenty of staff around asking and they will move you to the front of the queue. The shortest window I've had was 1 hour 5 and it felt like I was waiting around ages in the gate before I boarded. KLM aren't quick at getting people on the plane. My last 3 flights I haven't boarded until about 10 minutes before the flight is due to depart. My advice is to sit in an aisle seat near the front to get off quick, walk fast to your gate. You will be ok as the ticket wouldn't be sold if the connection isn't doable. If worse comes to worse and you miss it (very slim chance) KLM will put you on the next flight as it's their responsibility. Enjoy Prague. It's an awesome place. I went there in 1998 !

Hi, Flying from Dublin to Helsinki via Schiphol. With a short layover time in Schiphol- will I have to go through secuirty checks?

Hey justin thanks for this video is there any way to know the gate no there my flight land ? I have read many articles where it mentioned if i go through passport control or any shengen area i will need a transit visa as i am non eu member

The gate arrivals tend to change all the time, but you can check Flightradar24, and then find your flight number. This will show you previous arrival gates. No, you dont need any transitvisa as long as you stay inside the airport and doing a transit. But you will need a schengen visa if you are entering the Schengen area.

Dear Sir, Your video is excellent, for passengers travelling schilop Airport. Can explain me that a passengers landed gate F and transit to gate D53 please.

Ok, so your arrival is at F, that mean you arrived from outside the Schengen area. The Gate D, is a mix of inside and outside Schengen area divided by levels. So the transit depends on were you are travelling too. If you transit is to a Scengen country, you will have to go through the passport control, if not a Schengen country, you will only have to go through the security control.

Hi, if we arrive from a non-Schengen area and transit in Amsterdam before departing to Prague, we will go through passport control in Amsterdam, right? Will our first day of entry into the Schengen Area be counted from the day we arrived in Amsterdam or when we arrive in Prague the next day?

[@JustinThailand]

Yes you will have to go through the passport control in Schiphol, Amsterdam. This will be your port of entry to Schengen. After this passport control, you will not go through any passport control during your stay in Schengen. Your last question, I can't give you a certain answer, because im not 100% sure, but I do think the counting will start when you enter the Schengen area since this is the port of entry, and you will get the passport stamped here.

@ Thank you for your answer. I have another question. If I arrive on January 5th at 6 PM, can I wait at a café before going through passport control so that my passport is stamped the next day (e.g., at 1 AM)? I have limited visa validity and cannot afford to lose a day just for transiting at Amsterdam Airport.

[@JustinThailand]

As mentioned, I am not 100% sure about this, but I do think you are correct. I also think you will get the extra day, if you wait for the midnight. When you arrive, if you have the time, you can also go over to the passport control and ask the ground staff there, or if no queue you might be able to ask the immigration officer directly.

You will probably reach your gate in time, but I understand your worries :) If you miss your flight, the airline will normally rebook you automatically, and then send you an sms or/and email. But anyways, you will have no problem finding a servicedesk, if not, just ask some airport staff, there are a lot airport staff throughout the airport. At the servicedesk, you just give them your boarding card, and they will find the first available flight to Atlanta for you. They will most often check their own flights, then they will check the alliance they are a member of. If they give you a new flight the next day, just ask them for hotel and transport. Sometimes you will get a voucher for hotel and taxi/bus, but sometimes you will have to pay by yourself, and then claim for refund through their websites. Normally an easy prosess. But you not have to worry, missed connection is normal for all airliners, and this is mostly taken good care of. So don't worry. When you arrive at Schiphol Airport, and you arrive at the passport control, if its crowded, and you running out of time, just look for the ground staff, If I don't remember wrong now, they have yellow shirts on, make contact and tell them you are running late, they will then check your boarding card, and let you pass the queue if you are late :) Most probably will you be ok :) And you are not bothering me, just ask, and if you have more question, or something happens, just ask, and I will do what I can to help :) Have nice flight :)

If I understood correctly, I'd land from WAW to AMS on the Schengen side, and I just need to pass through passport control to go to the non-Schengen side. Is that correct? I would not need to collect my check-in luggage from the WAW-AMS segment to check them in again for the AMS-BKK leg of the flight, right? Is there a separate passport control lane for business class travelers? I have 2 hours and 45 minutes of ground time in AMS. Would that be enough? Thanks in advance for your response, Justin!

[@JustinThailand]

Hi :) I do belive your flight will be like this : During Check In at New York, tell them to check your luggage and issue Boarding Pass to the final destination, Bangkok. So on your first flight to WAW, I do think you will do the transit in the Non-Schengen area of the airport. Look for the signs for Transit Non-Scengen. Arriving in AMS you will do the same, transiting in the Non Schengen area. That means that you don't have to go through any passport control, but you will have to go through the security control in AMS, in WAW I don't know. There are fast track lanes for business class travelers at AMS. 2 hours 45 minutes will normally be enough time for transit.

You don't need any transit visa for doing a transit in Schiphol. Depending on where you going, they might check your passport and visa requirements for your final destination before you boarding the plane. For your transit, you will arrive at the Non-Schengen Area of the airport, and will have to go through the security and passport control since you are entering the Schengen Area of the airport. Entering Schengen means you need a valid visa for Schengen or your arrival country. Since you are a dual national you probably have a valid visa already.

Gate number changes all the time, but you will land at the Concourse B, C or D. From you arrival gate, you just follow the signs for "All transit". If you are going to Canada, you flight will most likely leave from the Concourse D, E, F or G. But don't worry, Schiphol is big, but easy to navigate. As you come out from your plane, just look for the monitors showing the flights. Find your flight, and look for which concourse you plane is leaving from.

Hi :) Yes, you will probably have to go through the passport control since you arrive inside the Schengen, and leave the Schengen area for departure US. Your arrival will be at the concourse B,C or D, and you will probably leave from concourse E or F :) But I can't be sure as this change all the time. Schiphol Airport is an easy airport to navigate.

@@JustinThailand I also saw a video that had 2 different passport controls obviously but the video showed one for transfers as well is that the case

Yes, you are in transit, and will use the passport control inside the departure-area. As you disembark the plane, you will see monitors along your way showing your departure gate. From there, just follow the signs, and you will automatically come to the passport area for enter the Non-Schengen area. If you are delayed, and running out of time, just tell the staff at the passport control, and they will let you pass the queue :) But they will check your boarding pass to see if its true or not ;) But if you have 2 hours for transit, you will be fine :) Have a nice flight :)

Hi! I’m traveling from Norway and have 1,20 hours layover to non-Schengen (Thailand) is it enough time for me to get to the next flight? Do I have to go to the passport control, customs and security check? Thank you so much 😊

[@kimwaris9554]

I have an EU passport will it be quick? But my mom has non-EU passport will 1.20 hours enough

[@JustinThailand]

Ok, so..... Normally, if no delays, 1 hour 20 minutes will be enough. You will have to go through the passport control. You don't have to go through any custom or security control :) I will also answer your next question down below :)

[@JustinThailand]

Yes, normally EU is quick. Non Eu Passport have to through the ALL PASSPORTS lane, this can sometimes be slow. But here is a good tip to you and your mom; If you are running late, when you arrive at the Passport control, look for the Staff, I think they have yellow sweaters, tell them that you are running late, they will check your boarding pass, and if you are late, they will guide you through and bypass the queue :) But, if you're not late, they will not do so :) Have a nice trip to Thailand :)
