However, the airline stated that citizens of the affected countries holding valid visa or residence permit from Canada, Japan, USA or Euopean countries in addition to the UK visa/residence permit are allowed to transit through France or the Netherlandswithout ATV.
Meanwhile, the Dutch Minister of Justice and Security has decided to waive the ATV requirements for transit at Schiphol Airport for Nigerian nationals with a valid UK visa or residence permit until 1 February, 2021.
