It’s important to note that this list is not exhaustive, and visa requirements can change. It is advisable to check with the embassy or consulate of the country you plan to transit through to confirm whether you need an ATV or any other transit visa. Additionally, some countries may have specific agreements or exemptions for certain nationalities, so it’s essential to research the transit requirements based on your specific circumstances.
