I am a Canadian Permanent Resident currently vacationing in Nigeria.

I have a return flight to Canada next week. My Interirary is from MMA Lagos to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in France to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport (AMS) in Germany and finally to YYZ in Canada

Please do I need a transit visa for this trip as a Canadian Permanent Resident?
If yes, anyway I could get the transit visa in a few days before my return next week?

How long is the layover?

Schiphol airport is in the Netherlands.

No, you don't.

In accordance with article 3(5) of the Schengen Visa Code, Nigerians are exempt from airport transit visas if they hold a visa or residence permit issued by Canada, the US, and the UK.

Safe trip bro. Don't forget to buy stroopwafels at Schipol airport.

I know that typically you would not need a visa if transiting through one schengen country but if it's 2 countries, you will need one. I don't know if that also holds for PR card holders. Since you are transiting through 2 Schengen countries, to be safe, I will advise that you quickly call your airline to ask them.

Thanks guys for all your helpful responses. This misadventure ended up costing me over $5,000 to get new tickets for 4 persons after spending 3 additional days back and forth the airport

So sorry to learn about the additional $5k expense, if u don’t mind, can u share what the visa policy is based on your visits to the airport.

Pls does anyone have an idea about Malta 🇲🇹 tourist visa, and has anyone gotten currently from Nigeria ?

Pls is the holder of Schengen single entry visa also exempt from transit visa? Or will the visa be used for the transit and that's it?

The person has a Schengen single entry visa for a future trip. But wants to transit the Schengen zone to another country before this planned Schengen future trip.

There is this confusion if its appropriate to apply for a transit visa when there's an active Schengen visit visa on the passport, but unfortunately a single entry one.

Also, the other confusion is if the visa will become invalid after being used for transit nullifying the purpose for the visa for an intended future trip.
