Do I need a visa for transfer flights in Moscow?

Question by Ramunas D: Do I need a visa just to transfer flights in Moscow?
I am an EU citizen and I am planning to take a flight to New Delhi, India via Moscow. Do I need a russian transit visa if I will only make a flight change at the airport?
Thanks

No, for all airports worldwide you do not require a visa to transfer planes if you just wait inside the air-side terminal. You will, however, need a valid visa if you intend to leave the terminal – the people at customs will stop you.

As long as your connection is within 24 hours you won’t need anything.

    If you are an EU citizen it is unlikely that you would need a transit visa. Some countries do require transit visas, depending on the nationality of the person transiting. (ie, if you were an Indian citizen transferring in the UK, you would need one). You can always contact their consulate to get more detailed information if you would like.

    Nope. No Visa is needed just for a transfer to another flight.

    Have a great trip!
