Can I fly to India via Amsterdam with expired visa?

Yes, you can travel from the US to India via the Netherlands (Amsterdam) if your US work visa has expired, but the key factor is your transit visa requirement for the Netherlands.

If you will remain airside (inside the international transit area) at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and have a confirmed onward ticket to India, you generally do not need a Dutch or Schengen visa if you hold a valid Indian passport and are only transiting. However, some Indian passport holders do require an airport transit visa for the Netherlands unless they meet certain exemptions, such as:

• Holding a valid US visa or green card (even if expired, this may not count; it usually must be valid)

• Holding a valid visa or residence permit from Canada, Japan, or a Schengen country

• Being a family member of an EU/EEA national

Because your US work visa is expired, you may not qualify for the exemption based on a valid US visa. In that case, you might need to apply for a Netherlands airport transit visa before travel.

You should confirm the exact rule with the Dutch consulate or airline before booking, as airlines may deny boarding if they believe you need a transit visa and do not have one.
