2 Hour Transit at Moscow DME

For a 2 hour international transit at DME, from Kiev to Varna via DME, I do not need a transit visa....is this correct?

Thanks,
Lee

What for? You are not going to leave the airport during this time aren't you?

Correct. If you don't leave the airport and neither of your flights are considered domestic, then you shouldn't need a visa.

BTW The airlines will be able to tell you if you need a visa or if one of these legs is considered domestic.

correct. BUT be ready to have to stay in a separate room without any facilities during your waiting time.

What room are you talking the nonsense about? They will pass transfer desk and security screening and then enter the same international departure concourse as everyone.

reported you ""homelyboy"" to the administrators. Your information is as wrong as it could be and I'm really not the person to talk ""nonsense"". We have 100s clients each month in Russia.

You may report anyone as much as you wish, this won't make you sound any truer. You may be having trillions of clients each month in Russia or anywhere - I'm just flying through DME all the time and see it with my own eyes.

The fact is that there are no "separate rooms without any facilities".

I travel through Domodedovo regularly and I agree with Homelyboy, the OP won't be locked in some room they'll wait in the international departure area like anyone else waiting for an international flight.
