TWOV (Transit Without Visa):
Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets for a max.
transit For details, click here time of 6 hours.
- The onward carrier is required to report the onward booking
to the Immigration Authorities.
Does anyone know who would be able to provide the information? I will try to call RJ, but not expecting much help. Not sure who else may have the info.
I'm looking at a similar plan: arriving on TK (HEL-ist-KRT) at 0220 and leaving on the RJ at 0625 (i.e., within the six hours). My departure from HEL is less than 24 hours before the departure from KRT so the RJ online check-in will be open and I expect to have my KRT-AMM BP printed before I leave HEL.
The confusing thing in the above-quoted rule is the bit about the 'onward carrier'. If TK are worried about letting me board at HEL (or IST) without a Sudanese visa, I will have my onward ticket and BP to show them. But how does RJ, the onward carrier, get in the game before I show up at KRT? Of course, if they looked, they would be able to see that I had checked in online -- but, as
lerasp says, what about getting them to tell the Sudanese?
There's another factor which I haven't seen raised yet in this discussion, and that is -- what exactly is airside transit like at KRT? Do you come off the airbridge (or, perhaps more likely, off the bus) into the terminal, check the monitor for your next flight's gate info, and just go there (or to the lounge)? Or is it perhaps like in America, where there is no airside transit and all arriving international pax have to go through pass control? If the former, how do they even know how long it is (or has been) between your flights?
Maybe someone who has actually been to/through KRT could brief us on the procedure?
