KLM Royal Dutch Airlines travel documents

Your passport must be valid for the entire trip, and Indian passport holders generally need a Schengen visa to enter the Netherlands. Airside connections through Amsterdam Schiphol usually don't need a transit visa, though some multi-Schengen-layover or US-India routings can require one — check KLM's travel documents tool for your specific itinerary.

Indian domestic flights generally accept a range of approved photo IDs, while international travel requires a passport. Check the airline's current accepted-document list for your passenger category.

Airlines commonly verify entry and transit eligibility before international boarding. Immigration authorities make the final admission decision.

Contact the airline or original booking platform before departure. Correction options depend on the size of the mismatch and fare rules.
