          A visa is mostly not required to transit through Netherlands providing that 
they do not intend to leave the international transit area.
As a foreign national, you do not enter the Schengen Area. In principle, you are not subject to entry visa requirements, with some exceptions. Certain 
nationalities are subject to visa requirements to transit through an airport in 
Netherlands (Airport Transit Visa or ATV).
With an airport transit visa you may only change to another airplane to a 
destination outside the Schengen area. You may not leave the airport and you do 
not have access to the Schengen area.
When you are traveling from the airport (by plane, car, train or bus) to another 
Schengen country, you need a Schengen visa (C-visa).
Nationals of the following countries need an Airport Transit Visa to change 
aircraft at the airport in Netherlands:
| • Afghanistan | • Nigeria |
