    Your (single entry) Schengen visa will be used (and thus no longer valid). A double or multi would work, but not a single. A UK visa is not on the list of alternative valid visas that would be accepted. Flughafentransitvisum - Auswärtiges Amt - Cuba

  • @MarkJohnson Thank you, would requesting a double entry visa from Spain be seen as credible since on the homeward trip the traveller will not be entering, or even returning via, Spain? It would be a first-time application for a Schengen C visa so I’m not sure if applying for multiple entry would be more likely to be refused. The traveller has a good travel history to UK and currently has a 2 year validity UK visitor visa, but as you say that doesn’t count for Schengen transit.

    @Traveller Since it is truthfull itinerary, it would seen as credible since the return portion requires a second valid Schengen visa.

  • The question is a bit confusing, is the transit on the return leg airside or not? Headline question says yes, single stop in the Schengen area suggests it might be but then you mention a “self-transfer”? Does the person also require a visa for airside transit?
