enter image description hereI am an Indian and have Netherlands residence Permit Type 1. I am travelling from Amsterdam and will be transiting in LHR towards New delhi do I need transit visa?

In the exemptions it says if you have a common format residence permit issued by an European Economic Area then you do not need a transit visa.

Can I consider my Netherlands residence permit as common format residence permit or there is difference between the two?

Below are the flight details: Flight details BA431 Amsterdam --> London BA257 London --> New Delhi

According to the EU's list of acceptable documents, the following documents issued by the Netherlands are uniform-format residence permits:

  • Regulier bepaalde tijd (Regular - fixed-term)
  • Regulier onbepaalde tijd (Regular - indefinite)
  • Asiel bepaalde tijd (Asylum - fixed-term)
  • Asiel onbepaalde tijd (Asylum - indefinite)
  • EU/EER (Gemeenschapsonderdanen) (EU nationals)

If you have one of those documents, you should be all set. If you have another document, such as a Het Geprivilegeerdendocument (Privileged persons document), Visum voor terugkeer (return visa), or some other document which is in fact not a residence permit at all, you are more likely to experience difficulty.
