European Airports Airside VAT Refunds

Hello everyone,

I’m a non‑EU resident traveling through Europe with a connecting flight to travel to North America, and I need to claim my VAT refund after passport control. Exiting security to claim the VAT refund this isn’t practical. My question comes in two parts:

(1) For my upcoming specific itinerary, I’m flying out of AMS. I remember there is a VAT refund office airside (maybe between the E and F gates) but need your help on the specific location.
(2) For future references when I (or other readers) have to claim VAT refunds at the last EU airport (assume there is a connection). Which EU airports have VAT refund offices located airside (i.e., after security and passport control)? If you know the airport name, terminal, or exact location, please share—this will help fellow readers on connecting flights.

Thanks for your insights!
