It was a very difficult time for us. I know the video is long however we wanted to provide detailed information so that no one else faces this issue. Thank you Siddharth for your comment and support 🙏🏻❤️✨
Skyscanner always gives a disclaimer where you need transit visa. This is required particularly when you have to collect baggage at your city of layover. Also if you have different airlines involved except those that are partners then you need to cover Immigration at your layover city airport. This is not just for Bali. It is for any country. Suppose you are travelling to Cape Town and you have an Air India flight to Dubai and then an Emirates flight to Cape Town then you will need transit visa and get your Immigration done in Dubai again.
Thank you for your story and the initiative you both have taken to educate and help others via your own experience . Glad that the Changi airport help desk staff was so helpful . As a customer really indignant that Indigo airlines did not help as they are to blame as well.
It's normal to have visa if you have to go out in any airport. Usually if you book in same airlines for both the trips with same PNR, then your luggage goes straight to the destination and you don't have to go out in the intermittent airport, and can board for Bali from Singapore without going out at Singapore Airport.
you don't even get a chance to get angry. Angry you be only when you see your home people around you. You can just cry. If they pity on you, they can make effort for you, if not, you have to return back mid way.
I like to clarify a thing here. PNR should be same for the last point of departure in India to the first point of entry in a new country. In your case, PNR can be different for the flight Mumbai-Chennai, but PNR should be same for the flights, Chennai-Singapore and Singapore-Bali. Did you book self-transfer flights? In case of self transfer, you have to go through the immigration (visa maybe required depending upon the nationality), collect the bags and re-check them in for the connecting flight.
Hey can you help i have same Pnr number but different terminal and different airlines it's air india to Singapore then Jetstar to bali so you think i need transit visa?
@@abhinavverma9032 really thank you so much actually my ticket from make my trip also mentioned to get a transit visa and air india website also have posted to get it for Singapore layover
@@fashioninsta634if it’s same PNR then it shouldn’t be an issue. You can change terminals in Singapore without a visa, without exiting the immigration area. I have posted a video regarding this. Please check
Wht kind of people you are guys❤ Very precious ones 😊❤ Beyond your problems you are here sharing it with us for our information! Thank you so much for letting us know about it..don't be sad Or disappointed you guys are gem 💎there should be obstacle but nobody can stop you from what you deserve!! ❤ May bappa bless you Have an amazing and beautiful also a safe journey ahead 💕🌺
I faced a similar situation in November 2023. Just one night before my travel to India I got the similar information from Air India that I would need a Singapore Transit Visa as I was travelling by Scoot and Air India. But luckily I had the Australian Visa and everything went seamless. Here I would like to mention that Singapore and Singapore Airlines have the best trained staff and they have a problem solving attitude.
Please help- I have a return connecting flight from BALI to New delhi , Bali - Singapore it's JETSTAR Airways and Singapore to Delhi it's AIR INDIA ... I have to change terminal . I am afraid after watching this video please help me . What to do I am from India
@@rajeshmahadevan9683 its the passengers job to make sure his tickets n docs are correct ! Most of the people just go to skyscanner looking for cheap flights and buy mixed airline tkts with no thought about transit issues
@@thekindtravellers though its informative video however, its very irritating, very annoying, pls decide who wants to speak. Only add on if required else no. She said , you can speak n throughtout the conversation she is speaking. If she wants to speak then explain the whole scenario. Rather sara bolkr, baaki tum bolo
I am a regular traveller. Always try to book Tickets with same airline who will take you to the last destination in case of 'Layover'. This is same in case the airline is having 'Code Share' agreement with multiple airlines. When I travelled by Singapore Airlines from Mumbai to Kualalumpur via Changi Airport recently - We got 2 BP @ Mumbai for Singapore and Malaysia. @ Changi, we simply went to another Gate after passing 'Security' (Not Immigration) to board flight by Singapore Airlines.
Hey dude i ‘m travelled with the same airline……Do u get to explore the attractions of the airport like that waterfall and butterfly park without VISA ?
*Important points* 1. Kbi bhi international flight mai jitni bhi layover ho rhi h boarding pass phele bar hi mil jati h start to End. 2. International flight ke layover ke details ache read kijiye aur *Note:- agar bag apko travel ke bich Mai rha h to apko visa ki jarurat padegi, (jaha apka layover ho rha h) aur fir se immigration bhi hoga.*
@@BabaRocks2022 Kindly revisit the text. I aim to elucidate the appropriate procedures to handle situations encountered during international flights. With extensive travel experience spanning over 8 years and traversing more than 48 countries, including numerous flights, I offer insights gleaned from practical experience.
If you book separately, it will be a different PNR which means visa is always required. You don't require a visa for layover if you have booked from point A to point B on any airline or ota website. E.g. Mumbai to bali if you booked no matter wherever the layover (unless the country doesn't allow your passport people) .
If you're changing terminals and have to collect your luggage, it means that you step out of terminal 1 into that country and then step back into terminal 2 or 3. It is mandatory to have either country visa or transit visa. Yes, Indigo should have stopped them in Chennai. Indian immigration will not stop you from going, it's Indigos issue .
If you are not getting your bags directly at your final destination, that itself is a red flag to start with as the bags are always collected in arrival hall. When I have layovers (domestic or international), I always ask where will I get my bags. Also, this seemed like a clear miss from your side as well(possibly due to lack of experience), but one must check for transit visa requirements for layovers. I have seen people being struck with a reality check when it happens. Most airlines will try to display it on their booking page or send you emails/forms after ticket purchase asking you to provide data on your visas. This seemed like a miss from Indigo's side as well since they sold you the ticket and even flew you there and left you in jeopardy. The point about airlines changing from one flight to another requiring visa in not true in general. Lots of connecting flights from India to US via Europe/Dubai/etc have different airlines on different legs but no transit visa is required.
I did some more searching for my own travel plans and I think what may have happened is that some travel portals combine flights across different airlines and sell you that in a single transaction, generating different PNRs. This gives a wrong impression that we have a single ticket as we bought it in one transaction, but they are effectively different tickets sold together.
@@thekindtravellers Hey we are travelling from Mumbai to Bali via Singapore with Air India and Jetstar airways with different PNR but same Ticket no which we booked from MMT. Do we need transit visa?
NO its the most chutiya airport ,there are so many absurd rules . you cant take any liquid in checkin even baby products or water bottle. i lost very costly cosmetics in security checkin. they dont even allow to consume once they see that. you cant stay more than 30 min extra after arrival even for lounges if no layover. they dont allow to sit anywhere if you are from diff terminal and wanted to come to lunge in diff terminal. too many inquiries at all the gates. too long to walk ,no golf carts or non stop walking escalators ilke delhi airport. no jet spray in toilet. its overhyped airport. all the changi lounges have no indian food available. one last point NEVER FLY ECONOMY CLASS , its a long flight and its nightmare as eco has no in flight entertainment,no chargers.
Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Thankfully the folks at Singapore airport were super helpful so a shoutout to Vik, Angela and Katrina ❤. Indigo seems to be seriously lacking in customer service on international routes with regards to codeshare airlines. Off late even people travelling on Indigo Turkish airlines code share have suffered big time.
It's really good movements both of you. You will remember these movements and will be touched emotionally in whole life. No doubt, Singapore people are very helpful as comparisons to others. I appreciate for everything. I have been from Singapore, Immigration of Singapore is smooth and easy until unless. You should sufficient documents like Visa and SG arrival card. I really like Singapore. That's why Singapore is growing day by day.
Thanks for video, very informative video. Such a honest confession and things gone wrong but u ppl are still so kind, and not blaming anyone . Hope nobody faces such situation
I must say Detailed video with All Information 🎊🎊🎊🎊🎊. Thank you so much. But 1 Genuine Question Singapore ka visa On arrival nahi hai kya / Transit visa ka option nahi tha kya?
You should go to TRANSFER DESK (inside TRANSIT AREA) immediately after arriving in Singapore. They will assist you to provide Boarding Pass & will arrange for Baggage transfer. No need to exit through Immigration to collect Baggage. I wonder why Immigration officer or any other airport staff did not guide you in this way. Changhi airport Service is the best. There is no need for any Visa for the country where you are transiting unless connecting aircraft departing from another airport or terminal which is not interconnected. Please check with airline / travel agent prior booking the ticket.
If that would have been the case then someone must have informed. But I don't think that's how it works. Next time to travel I will clear this information and make a video on Transfer desk and it's policies.
@@thekindtravellers Best wishes for both of you. Good luck. But Transfer Desk is for transit passengers with no boarding pass etc. I have used Changi Airport more than 100 times and lived in Singapore for more than 20 years. I have travelled most part of world and transited many countries without any visa as final destination is different. Don’t worry, life will teach you so many lessons.
Transfer desk only works when you have codeshare flight which book single PNR source to destination. They had breakup journey. I am not sure why you guys did not avail visa on arrival in singapore
When you book tickets, it is mentioned in the mmt also, if you open your booking you can see that transit visa may be required. It was not any airline fault. It id always mentioned.
@@thekindtravellers can you please share what is the process of transit visa for singapore, we have our flights from del to bali with a layover of 3 hours at Singapore airport. I am still not clear will I require transit visa.
Very informative, emotional, thanks a lot dears for the info. But very interruptive, too much of repetitions, disruptive flow… But…..Truly a learning lesson Inspite of everything that has happened you are very strong and decided to share your experience God bless you both
Randomly came across this video on my feed. Was curious and ended up seeing it till the end. Very heartwarming indeed 😊 What happened with you guys (going onwards to Bali) was a one in a million scenario - but if there’s one place where there’s a chance, it’s Changi! Stuff of legends! Vik also seems to be of Indian descent which could’ve also gone in your favour. Lady Luck works through mysterious people. 😊 Pro tip: Always refer to the country immigration website for accurate and up to date information rather than relying on YT influencers. Going to click the bell icon now. Cheers
Love how positive and beautiful your comment is. I agree with your thoughts. Learned our lesson the hard way tbh but yes next time I will make sure I am 200% more careful😇✨ Cheers 🙌🏻✨
Hello … so what do you think to suggest us ?? Direct airline from Delhi to Bali ?? Would be okay ?? Moreover can u suggest me if I should go with some agency or should I book myself ??how to get E visa ??
So just to ask if i m going to canada (for ex) with connecting flights and my layover is in us or england: so do i need us / england visa or i m good to go as i have canadian visa ?
You dont need transit visa in england if you are not leaving the transit area. Simple formula is if your PNR and terminal is same for both the legs, you wont be leaving transit area. For USA though, you will need visa even for landing. So dont transit through USA, if you dont have USA visa.
Oh god thanks a lot. I was about to book my hongkong ticket from Mumbai layover at Singapore and I never thought about this. Thanks u people really saved me.
Karan, your story literally gave me goosebumps. I can understand how it feels to be all alone, managing such things on the airport. I must say you guys were really lucky and really hat’s off how you managed everything. All the best and loads of love to you guys❤
Why didnt you go to the immigration desk and ask for immediate transit visa? Back in 2018, I was provided with transit visa on Singapore Airport, as I had chosen a separate flight to my next destination. I applied for the transit visa and received the immediate approval so I could collect my bags and recheck-in with my next carrier.
I would like to say Thank You for bringing such informative vdo.. it will be a great help for a lot of people. 🙏 ALSO, People who are saying that the 'wife' is interrupting clearly shows that they don't respect their wife and doesn't respect their point of view in life. Here she is speaking because she has her point of view ..she has a lot to speak (valid points) and yes she is outspoken which some MEN can't tolerate as they (some men, not all) want to be the dominating one. I honestly liked how BOTH (husband and wife) are speaking together and yes the 'hubby' is understanding ..he didn't stop her from sharing her points.
If only the world starts thinking like you, it will be such a beautiful place Thank you for this. Yes, I respect my wife and I told her to add in between in case if I miss anything. Also the emotions were very different at that point of time. God bless you ❤️✨
It is manadatory to check connecting flights terms before booking tickets like if both airline companies are same then usually visa not required, i also did travel from delhi to Brisbane transit from Singapore. I did not take visa in Singapore.
Hi from Singapore! Glad Changi's staff were so helpful and you guys made it to Bali. They usually are very nice and they go out their way to help. Thanks for sharing the video. All the best.
Yes. Changi staff and Singapore airlines staffs are the best. Once I was coming from Jakarta, I had connecting flight at Singapore. I simply asked Singapore airline staff to collect my luggage from belt and check in my connecting flight (Singapore Airlines flight). They just did it. I collected onwards boarding pass from counter without crossing immigration. It was easy as my arrival and departure terminals were same
I have an upcoming flight via Singapore Airlines from from India to Phuket and have a 10hr layover in Singapore. Both the connecting flights are from the same airlines and PNR is also same. Will I need Visa for Singapore?
I remember i was flying Tiger Airways to Singapore dor a layover and from there by Jetstar to Manila. That involved change of terminals at Changi. At Bangalore, Tiger checkin staff asked if inhad a Singapore visa, and when i did not have, they returned me back from Bangalore airport itself.
Thailand you will have to go through the same process, if you have similar tickets . Only blessing is no visa required. If the ticket is issued on ONE document, then going via Singapore or Malaysia is not a problem, as no transit visa required.
We want to share our experiences. 😊 A BIG 👍for those three .. IT HAPPENED WITH US LAST MONTH . IN THAILAND. OUR JOURNEY WAS PLANNED IN THIS SEQUENCE.. bangalore to bangkok DMK airport ,reaches at 5.30 am from there to Siemreap, Onward connecting flight at 11 am same day . Bangalore to bangkok & return ticket bangkok to bangalore done in one booking airasia flight ,through airasia app.. we have planned to visit angorwat temple siemreap for one day on our first day of trip. So. We booked tickets Bangkok to siemreap AIRASIA FLIGHT. through Make my trip App Layover time 5 hours. In DMK airport. But.,,,,, Both different PNR. (Bangalore to bangkok one pnr & bangkok to siemreap one pnr) And our Return ticket from siemreap to bangkok ( it is also airasia flight) is the very next day only ., As its our first international journey we did our research but missed this Single PNR issue ( WE HAVE thought both flights are airasia only , ,and its ONLY TRANSIT, so no issues.,,,,,) But BIG NO. bangalore to bangkok is AIRASIA INDIA FLIGHT ., and bangkok to siem reap is AIRASIA THAILAND FLIGHT 😅 . At bangalore airport: the guy at the airasia check in desk in bangalore airport , he checked our tickets . HERE I WANT TO MENTION. THIS MOST IMPORTANT THING. we have given him our to and fro tickets blg to thailand ., He checked our passports tickets and then he asked YOU GOING TO CAMBODIA , [ once he checked passports and as all tickets booked airasia airlines he got theidea of our journey to sieamreap] we said yes he asked for those tickets also , we handed over , he checked and then he didnt mention any thing and he offered two cabin bags can be allowed as checkin bags ,,with out extra charges.. ( IF YOU HAVE TRAVELLED AIR ASIA FLIGHT YOU KNOW THEY CHARGE EXTRA FOR CHECKIN BAGGAGE). . At immegration check bangalore airport , we have shown to and fro tickets bangalore to bangkok. They know thailand issues visa on arrival so they stamped and let us board the flight. [ immegration officers dont have idea our siemreap trip , so they stamped. But The AirAsia desk guy he has idea of our ticket bookings , ] . We landed in DMK AIRPORT 😂😂😂 IN joy ., and here started all the problems . To collect baggage we have to clear immigration and go to baggage belt. And the airport security there he said for tht u need VISA or contact airasia travel DESK. there we met one lady , after our enquiry she says u cant PASSTHROUGH from airasia traveldesk. After so many minutes of enquiry and quetioning then she DISCLOSED THE TWIST. THAT IS IF WE HAD BOOKED BANGALORE TO BANGKOK FROM THERE TO SIEMREAP in a single booking using AIRASIA APP , OR any one App then the flight company will have charged this PASSTHROUGH charges and one single.PNR issued As we have booked different tickets now no chance 1. We offered to pay PASSTHROUGH CHARGES THERE IT SELF she rejected. and said it cannot be done now, its airasia rule.😂😂😂 😢 Our onward journey is airasia flight still she rejected. . 2. We will leave luggage just issue us onward journey boarding pass . She rejected . . 3. We some how got internet wifi at airport checked in on airasia website done. boarding pass generated ., now immigration officers rejected as we have to go to departure level in the airport building from arrival level. 😂😂😂😂 ( May be this is passthrougj) . So either get visa or go back to India ,, the simple plan advised to us by immigration officer. . . So finally we have taken express visa for me my wife 2 kids , And cleared immigration, Went to baggage collection Again reentered at departure level. Again went through immigration check . And rushed to catch our flight.. . . Lessons we learnt 1. Indian immigration officers do their duty properly., and based upon whats information provided to them by Us. Whether the traveller had visa or not , its not their duty to check , its traveller s responcibility to have an idea which place he is heading and rules of tht land. . 2 NEVER DEPEND ON AIRLINE TO PROVIDE FULL INFORMATION. at last minutes before boarding flight . 3. Its traveller s head ache to EXTRACT PROPER INFORMATION From Airlines before why bcoz many a times they say check the destination coutries website and cut call. . 4. Never believe the CHECKIN DESK GUY/GIRL 😂😂😂😂 . thankyou for reading a long essay
This is so true. We have also learned our lesson but in a very hard way. Thank you so much for taking the time out and sharing your experience. I am sure this will help a lot of people. I hope after all the struggle you were able to finally enjoy the trip. You are awesome. Cheers!
Yes if u properly researched you could have avoided the hassle.. .. Everyone gets confused with the pnr thing which is the most important.... If u book tickets always check if it is single pnr or not. If it is single pnr and same airlines then u don't need transit visa for connectomg flight. There are also some airlines with mutual agreement also.. That u need to check with airlines after bookig ticket... Taking ur example if u r going to cambodia from bangalore taking Thailand as transit, u don't need transit visa if only one pnr is generated and it is same airline or airline with mutual agreement.. The baggage will be sent to cambodia and u just have to go to transit area when u reach Thailand... In second scenario u booked two tickets one from bangalore to and fro from Thailand and onward journey to cambodia. Here two pnr is generated that means u need to get transit visa from Thailand. The bags will not be sent to cambodia instead u need to collect from Thailand and again send it from there to new leg of journed from Thai immigration.... Also one more thing to note is that even if one pnr is generated and u have layovee for more than 24 hours u need to take transit visa... For some countries like USA, u still need to take transit visa even if layovee time is less than 24 hours and only single pnr is generated.... You have to do ur research before going abroad... Hope this helps
If your ticket is not through to your final destination with code sharing flight then yes you need visa when you have layover as your baggage will be removed after one leg .
Yeh honeymoon maja ayega aur jindegi bhar yaad rahega don't worry God ache insan k sath hota hai aur adrushya roop mein help karte hai, all the best buddy
Hi do we require transit visa for chennai to Denpasar via Kuala Lumpur? Also should we collect the check in luggage in Kl and re check-in while boarding to Denpasar. Same airlines but different pnr!
Many thanks for sharing, this will help a lot of people. But since our experience was quite similar though on the right side of fortune so we thought to slightly correct one of your point, that even if your airline is same but you got different PNRs you must have to cross immigration to self transfer your luggage in Singapore or Malaysia and for that you definitely need eVisa.
Yes this Is correct my brother is working in AirAsia PNR no should be Same for Connecting flights and your Baggage will be delivered to you at Final Destination
When you book cheap flights and if you have two or more airlines involved for layover, then you need to have a visa to check in again, and it says self transfer when you book your flights.
The best part of this video is how detailed and informative it is that nobody watching this will ever mess up their bookings like that again. But honestly, the worst part? The lady kept cutting the guy off while he was calmly explaining everything. It got super annoying and distracting after a while. Like either let him explain or take over completely...don’t keep interrupting and then telling him to continue. Anyway, I hope you’ve figured that out now from feedbacks in the comments and learned from it. Thanks for sharing this though...it’s gonna save a lot of people from dealing with the same mess on a foreign land. God bless!
Happy Honeymoon Guys!!! Nice video. Do not rely on Low cost flights ever for an International flights. Biggest lesson learnt. Thanks for the information.
So if i am having same flight then this won't be a trouble right. I am having my booking from ind to singapore and from there to bali In Singapore airlines only Same company But different terminal like in Singapore it will arive at terminal 0 and my flight to bali after layover or 2 hrs is from terminal 2. So this wi not make any difference for me Am I right ??
Hello, I am also gone through the same situation. If you have different airline carrier during the transition, its required to have a valid visa of the transiting country. If you have the same airline from point to point during the transition, don't require to have a visa for transition. I have experienced same isuse after booking flight of indigo and vietjet, from Bangalore to Tokyo(transit was hanoi).
For everyone, I am currently travelling to bali, via this route, Bangalore - Singapore - Bali. Bangalore - Singapore via Air India, Singapore - Bali via Jetstar. I booked the tickets under 1 itinerary, My ticket has 2 PNRs, but 1 e ticket number. My baggage is tagged to Bali directly, I had taken my second boarding pass from Changi airport. NOTE : I DID NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA FOR THIS JOURNEY. Before travelling I also had similar doubts, I tried to ask Air India on customer support, they said it can be verified on counter only. So took the risk and came to airport. Imp points : 1. Check on counter if your baggage is getting tagged till final destination or not. If not, then you will require visa at changi airport. 2. Your connecting flight has counter inside transit area, some low budgest flights dont have counter inside transit area, so you have to pass immigration to obtain second boarding pass. 3. Confirm if both of your airlines have agreement to transfer baggage, if not you will have to rechecking at changi airport, this will require visa. Thanks
I am travelling to Bali, have layover at Kuala Lumpur. Both the connecting flights have different PNR, if I dont have any checkin baggage (Only have cabin bag). Terminals are same. Do i still need a transit visa in that case?
No we travelled during may 2023 with family if ur layover at kuala lumpur u don’t required visa…we were total to 10 member we didn’t faced such issue…i hope they have not changed any rule yet…
If I'm travelling via VIETJET from Ahmedabad to BALI. Layover is Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh. (Less than 24 hours) It says SELF - TRANSFER FLIGHT. Q.1) Can I still check - in my luggage directly to BALI while boarding and not collect and recheck again in Vietnam? Q.2) Do I need transit Visa? Q.3) In self transfer flight. Will I get same PNR or different PNR if I book everything together? How about Transit visa in this case?
Hi guys, Thank you for sharing this info I am also looking to book via singapore airline So it is delhi to singapore then singapore to bali, both carriers are singapore airline only, so will we require transit visa?? Singapore airline customer care donot have exact information on this Awaiting your reply on this querry।
Doesnt't singapore provides transit visa facility for 96 hours? And since Kualalumpur is visa-free altogether then you dont need a visa for self transfer flight.
Always check for the same PNR it's called through chkin. You will get luggage at the last stop only . I think while booking you didn't check there must be a self transfer flight that's why you go through this problem
You probably would have broken your trip while booking tickets. Chennai to Singapore and Singapore to Bali while booking which is why you had a different PNR. I travel to Bali at least thrice a year and never faced this sort of an issue
I’m surprised how they were able to bypass stringent immigration rules. That never usually happens ! What exactly were the loopholes that they leveraged?!
While searching for videos about Bali, I stumbled upon this one. Thanks a lot, it was really helpful. Bless you and may God continue to guide you in this way.
I had an issue when transiting through Singapore. Missed my connecting flight and the wait for the next flight was 22 hrs. Got visa on arrival because I had a US B1. Singapore immigration was actually very helpful to get a transit visit and spend 22 hrs outside of the airport.
A small suggestion. It’s better if only 1 person speaks about the issue. Basically what happens, if u r flight carrier is changed in between it’s must that u should compete immigration and collect the bags and recheck from the counter. So from next time check for self check message while booking international flights.
I have one question Angela me apke ticket arrange kiye or bag bhi.. bt apko immigration ke baad hi flight bali ki scoot milegi na? To apne exit kiya ya kaise ap gae Singapore se bali.. without visa/immigration
Bhot achi or bhot pyari vidio ap logo ki vidio dekh kr hi maene bhot sawdhani se may 2024 ki ticket same pnr me book kiya warna shayad hamari bhi halat ap logo jaisi ho skti thi.. thanx itna acha vidio banane k liye.. ye vidio bhot jada helpful hai ye chiz bhot sare logo k sath ho skti hai magar ye vidio dekh k sabka bhala ho jaega .. or is darmiyan ap logo ko jo problm huyi ap log jo handle kiye ho ye bhot badi bat hai..

I went to bali took flight from Amritsar to bali 3 hours layover to Singapore.. my airline was was scoot.. I got two boarding pass in Amritsar to Singapore nd Singapore to bali.. due to same airline mujhe visa ka koi issue nhi hua .. and apart from us ( bcz vha immigration clear krna hai ya nhi you need transit visa) you should have transit visa in every country if you need to clear immigration.. pls check terminal also if the terminal change and you need clear immigration to change the terminal than you also need transit visa..
Good information. I think this issue is because the tickets were booked on a makenytrip instead of booking directly on airline portal. Because if the onward flight was a cideshare flight with Indigi, you would have got your luggage directly in Bali.
Travelled to Bali via Singapore using Singapore airlines (Scoot from Singapore to Bali) in May 2022. Spent 12 hrs in Singapore airport with no ossue since Baggage was through to Bali.
Simply speaking if your itinerary consists of two different airlines and the change is in aforeign country, you cannot get your luggage to change flight! I faced the same trouble one in Dubai but approaching Marhaba desk the problem was solved by paying 300 dirhams. My baggage was collected and put on board on flight to Kenya.
Thanks for sharing your experience, So if we have same pnr then we don't need visa for Transit, and if we have same airline then also we don't need transit visa. Please confirm 🙏
Yes, but do not go for a long layover flight for example 12hrs or 12hrs+ layover then you might require a transit visa. It is my suggestion that always check for the visa requirements before travelling to or transit from any international destination.
I think u forgot to check word " self checkin" while booking tickets , normally if it is mentioned as self checkin then you need to have a visa.. it will be treated as a separate journey
Yes your right but you ppl didn't do Or read the airline warning while booking tickets. Same airline till end then only transfers but airline change Or not same airport then visa is required
The movement they said we need to collect luggage in singapore its obvious immigration will be there. I have done many layovers but luggage checkedin will get in final destination not in layover... chalo good info for those who dont know
always remember - you dont need visa ONLY IF you get all Boarding Passes (till the final destination) at the time of baggage drop. if you are booking a multi airlines flight - there is a high possibility that recheckin of baggage is required which is beyond immigration control. Some airlines work in partnership to provide multi airline flight without recheckin. Always check before booking.
I will travel from chennai to Bali via Singapore layover that too in different flights and different PNR. If i only have hand luggage do i still need to get transit visa...
For the future, please check the iata travel center to know about visa requirements. Another point, if you don't use your onward journey then the return ticket is automatically cancelled.
You PPL are right...We need to be careful while travelling overseas...! And really it's great to see that you came out of such a difficult situation...Enjoy the trip
Salute you for coming up with a video to inform others in this state of mind after having gone through this.
It was a very difficult time for us. I know the video is long however we wanted to provide detailed information so that no one else faces this issue.
Thank you Siddharth for your comment and support 🙏🏻❤️✨
Waoo!! Thanks guys! A meaningful and worth sharing video!!!!
Skyscanner always gives a disclaimer where you need transit visa. This is required particularly when you have to collect baggage at your city of layover. Also if you have different airlines involved except those that are partners then you need to cover Immigration at your layover city airport.
This is not just for Bali. It is for any country. Suppose you are travelling to Cape Town and you have an Air India flight to Dubai and then an Emirates flight to Cape Town then you will need transit visa and get your Immigration done in Dubai again.
Yes 100%🙌🏻
Well written ✨
This is common knowledge : these two seem to be really thick not to know !! Over smart !!
But then shouldn’t the immigration officials at India also check that before it gets to that stage that you’re at a layover without a visa.
@@TheJayesh1993 absolutely so. It’s a shocking thing that they did not feel the need to flag this issue then and there
@@TheJayesh1993 not necessary. They are not accountable to check. They are just accountable to check if they can allow you from India port
Thank you for your story and the initiative you both have taken to educate and help others via your own experience . Glad that the Changi airport help desk staff was so helpful .
As a customer really indignant that Indigo airlines did not help as they are to blame as well.
It's normal to have visa if you have to go out in any airport. Usually if you book in same airlines for both the trips with same PNR, then your luggage goes straight to the destination and you don't have to go out in the intermittent airport, and can board for Bali from Singapore without going out at Singapore Airport.
But Singapore has a visa free transit facility for Commonwealth nations.
Appreciate you people didn't get Angry and were Humble
you don't even get a chance to get angry.
Angry you be only when you see your home people around you.
You can just cry.
If they pity on you, they can make effort for you, if not, you have to return back mid way.
This video is proof that GOOD PEOPLE LIKE VIK STILL EXIST aaj bhi duniya me
I like to clarify a thing here. PNR should be same for the last point of departure in India to the first point of entry in a new country. In your case, PNR can be different for the flight Mumbai-Chennai, but PNR should be same for the flights, Chennai-Singapore and Singapore-Bali. Did you book self-transfer flights? In case of self transfer, you have to go through the immigration (visa maybe required depending upon the nationality), collect the bags and re-check them in for the connecting flight.
Hey can you help i have same Pnr number but different terminal and different airlines it's air india to Singapore then Jetstar to bali so you think i need transit visa?
@@fashioninsta634 hey were u able to get answers to this I am also willing to book same flight
Hey! I had the same flight a month back. No you need not take a transit visa. You will directly get your luggage in Bali.
@@abhinavverma9032 really thank you so much actually my ticket from make my trip also mentioned to get a transit visa and air india website also have posted to get it for Singapore layover
@@fashioninsta634if it’s same PNR then it shouldn’t be an issue. You can change terminals in Singapore without a visa, without exiting the immigration area. I have posted a video regarding this. Please check

I faced a similar situation in November 2023. Just one night before my travel to India I got the similar information from Air India that I would need a Singapore Transit Visa as I was travelling by Scoot and Air India. But luckily I had the Australian Visa and everything went seamless. Here I would like to mention that Singapore and Singapore Airlines have the best trained staff and they have a problem solving attitude.
Hii
I am travelling to India from Melbourne. I have layover in singapore and i have to self transfer my baggage, do i need a transit visa for that?
Whenever you flight pnr changes for next flight you need a visa
what is the website or link to apply for transit visa?
Hey! So is it mandatory for everyone who has a layover in Singapore to have a transit visa?
Doesn’t it depend on layover duration etc?
Please help- I have a return connecting flight from BALI to New delhi , Bali - Singapore it's JETSTAR Airways and Singapore to Delhi it's AIR INDIA ... I have to change terminal . I am afraid after watching this video please help me . What to do I am from India
Now we know why Singapore is one of the greatest countries. Airlines in India seriously need a huge revamp.
@@rajeshmahadevan9683 its the passengers job to make sure his tickets n docs are correct ! Most of the people just go to skyscanner looking for cheap flights and buy mixed airline tkts with no thought about transit issues
Painful but a good lesson. Thank God for all the people who helped you guys!!!
Yes, God is great 🙌🏻❤️
@@thekindtravellers though its informative video however, its very irritating, very annoying, pls decide who wants to speak. Only add on if required else no.
She said , you can speak n throughtout the conversation she is speaking.
If she wants to speak then explain the whole scenario.
Rather sara bolkr, baaki tum bolo
I am a regular traveller. Always try to book Tickets with same airline who will take you to the last destination in case of 'Layover'. This is same in case the airline is having 'Code Share' agreement with multiple airlines. When I travelled by Singapore Airlines from Mumbai to Kualalumpur via Changi Airport recently - We got 2 BP @ Mumbai for Singapore and Malaysia. @ Changi, we simply went to another Gate after passing 'Security' (Not Immigration) to board flight by Singapore Airlines.
Yes one airline is a good idea and the best way I would say
Do we need transit visa in Singapore if it is code share.. like scoot and Singapore airlines
@@divyalaxmi8505 there is no transit visa in sg. if your flight lands frm T1 TO T4 then no visa. if its inside jewel then sg visa needed.
Hey dude i ‘m travelled with the same airline……Do u get to explore the attractions of the airport like that waterfall and butterfly park without VISA ?
*Important points*
1. Kbi bhi international flight mai jitni bhi layover ho rhi h boarding pass phele bar hi mil jati h start to End.
2. International flight ke layover ke details ache read kijiye aur *Note:- agar bag apko travel ke bich Mai rha h to apko visa ki jarurat padegi, (jaha apka layover ho rha h) aur fir se immigration bhi hoga.*
you are dead wrong. you need to collect at each new plane boarding even if its same airline. new checkin new brd pass
@@BabaRocks2022 Kindly revisit the text. I aim to elucidate the appropriate procedures to handle situations encountered during international flights. With extensive travel experience spanning over 8 years and traversing more than 48 countries, including numerous flights, I offer insights gleaned from practical experience.
Very informative video.
Thank you tons for bringing this to everyone's knowledge.
Whole country need to learn from Singapore not just airlines, specially law makers.
If you book separately, it will be a different PNR which means visa is always required.
You don't require a visa for layover if you have booked from point A to point B on any airline or ota website.
E.g. Mumbai to bali if you booked no matter wherever the layover (unless the country doesn't allow your passport people) .
If you're changing terminals and have to collect your luggage, it means that you step out of terminal 1 into that country and then step back into terminal 2 or 3.
It is mandatory to have either country visa or transit visa.
Yes, Indigo should have stopped them in Chennai.
Indian immigration will not stop you from going, it's Indigos issue .
If you are not getting your bags directly at your final destination, that itself is a red flag to start with as the bags are always collected in arrival hall. When I have layovers (domestic or international), I always ask where will I get my bags. Also, this seemed like a clear miss from your side as well(possibly due to lack of experience), but one must check for transit visa requirements for layovers. I have seen people being struck with a reality check when it happens. Most airlines will try to display it on their booking page or send you emails/forms after ticket purchase asking you to provide data on your visas. This seemed like a miss from Indigo's side as well since they sold you the ticket and even flew you there and left you in jeopardy.
The point about airlines changing from one flight to another requiring visa in not true in general. Lots of connecting flights from India to US via Europe/Dubai/etc have different airlines on different legs but no transit visa is required.
Agreed to what you are saying
A good learning for me but the hard way
I did some more searching for my own travel plans and I think what may have happened is that some travel portals combine flights across different airlines and sell you that in a single transaction, generating different PNRs. This gives a wrong impression that we have a single ticket as we bought it in one transaction, but they are effectively different tickets sold together.
@@thekindtravellers Hey we are travelling from Mumbai to Bali via Singapore with Air India and Jetstar airways with different PNR but same Ticket no which we booked from MMT. Do we need transit visa?
@@roxtrivyes, you said it correctly and the same thing happened in the case of this couple.
@@drsuyashgandhe6662I don't think so, Indian have visa free transit facility (VFTF) in Singapore for 96 hours.
You guys were truly lucky! Hope u njoyed Bali. Very valid information.
That is why Changi Airport is the best airport in the world. Unlike other countries, people in help desk really HELP you!
Yessssssss they do🥹✨
NO its the most chutiya airport ,there are so many absurd rules . you cant take any liquid in checkin even baby products or water bottle. i lost very costly cosmetics in security checkin. they dont even allow to consume once they see that. you cant stay more than 30 min extra after arrival even for lounges if no layover. they dont allow to sit anywhere if you are from diff terminal and wanted to come to lunge in diff terminal. too many inquiries at all the gates. too long to walk ,no golf carts or non stop walking escalators ilke delhi airport. no jet spray in toilet. its overhyped airport. all the changi lounges have no indian food available.
one last point NEVER FLY ECONOMY CLASS , its a long flight and its nightmare as eco has no in flight entertainment,no chargers.
It’s not depend on airport, any flight company they can provide another ticket on same company ( they can file a small problem )

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Thankfully the folks at Singapore airport were super helpful so a shoutout to Vik, Angela and Katrina ❤. Indigo seems to be seriously lacking in customer service on international routes with regards to codeshare airlines. Off late even people travelling on Indigo Turkish airlines code share have suffered big time.
True
So what stopped you guys from obtaining a Singapore visa at the airport on arrival? Visa fees is only 30 USD.
@@navalfa7291 visa on arrival is not available for indians
It’s just a code-share and not an interline agreement which cause the issues. They assume that you have documents for the intermediate country.
They lied to the immigration officer or they are lying here . Never trust these TH-cam’s for video likes they fill up the internet with lies

But 1 Genuine Question
Singapore ka visa On arrival nahi hai kya / Transit visa ka option nahi tha kya?
It was just a miracle nothing else coz u guys r pure souls 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks
Thank you to you🙌🏻🤍
You should go to TRANSFER DESK (inside TRANSIT AREA) immediately after arriving in Singapore. They will assist you to provide Boarding Pass & will arrange for Baggage transfer. No need to exit through Immigration to collect Baggage. I wonder why Immigration officer or any other airport staff did not guide you in this way. Changhi airport Service is the best. There is no need for any Visa for the country where you are transiting unless connecting aircraft departing from another airport or terminal which is not interconnected. Please check with airline / travel agent prior booking the ticket.
If that would have been the case then someone must have informed.
But I don't think that's how it works. Next time to travel I will clear this information and make a video on Transfer desk and it's policies.
@@thekindtravellers Best wishes for both of you. Good luck. But Transfer Desk is for transit passengers with no boarding pass etc. I have used Changi Airport more than 100 times and lived in Singapore for more than 20 years. I have travelled most part of world and transited many countries without any visa as final destination is different. Don’t worry, life will teach you so many lessons.
So in this case even if you are going via 2 different airlines From Mumbai to Singapore and then to bali. You don’t require transit visa ?
Transfer desk only works when you have codeshare flight which book single PNR source to destination. They had breakup journey. I am not sure why you guys did not avail visa on arrival in singapore
To Singapore there is no On Arrival Visa...
When you book tickets, it is mentioned in the mmt also, if you open your booking you can see that transit visa may be required. It was not any airline fault. It id always mentioned.
It wasn't hence this happened or else I would have easily got myself the $25 transit visa instead of this hassle
@@thekindtravellers can you please share what is the process of transit visa for singapore, we have our flights from del to bali with a layover of 3 hours at Singapore airport. I am still not clear will I require transit visa.
Very informative, emotional, thanks a lot dears for the info.
But very interruptive, too much of repetitions, disruptive flow…
But…..Truly a learning lesson
Inspite of everything that has happened you are very strong and decided to share your experience
God bless you both
In this case, apko transit visa chennai se milna tha kya?visa to land hone k baad he milta h to singapore may kyu nahi mila?
Randomly came across this video on my feed. Was curious and ended up seeing it till the end. Very heartwarming indeed 😊
What happened with you guys (going onwards to Bali) was a one in a million scenario - but if there’s one place where there’s a chance, it’s Changi! Stuff of legends! Vik also seems to be of Indian descent which could’ve also gone in your favour. Lady Luck works through mysterious people. 😊
Pro tip: Always refer to the country immigration website for accurate and up to date information rather than relying on YT influencers.
Going to click the bell icon now. Cheers
Love how positive and beautiful your comment is.
I agree with your thoughts.
Learned our lesson the hard way tbh but yes next time I will make sure I am 200% more careful😇✨
Cheers 🙌🏻✨
Hello … so what do you think to suggest us ?? Direct airline from Delhi to Bali ?? Would be okay ??
Moreover can u suggest me if I should go with some agency or should I book myself ??how to get E visa ??
So just to ask if i m going to canada (for ex) with connecting flights and my layover is in us or england: so do i need us / england visa or i m good to go as i have canadian visa ?
You dont need transit visa in england if you are not leaving the transit area. Simple formula is if your PNR and terminal is same for both the legs, you wont be leaving transit area.
For USA though, you will need visa even for landing. So dont transit through USA, if you dont have USA visa.
Oh god thanks a lot. I was about to book my hongkong ticket from Mumbai layover at Singapore and I never thought about this. Thanks u people really saved me.
Karan, your story literally gave me goosebumps. I can understand how it feels to be all alone, managing such things on the airport. I must say you guys were really lucky and really hat’s off how you managed everything. All the best and loads of love to you guys❤
Thank you😇❤️🙏🏻
Why didnt you go to the immigration desk and ask for immediate transit visa?
Back in 2018, I was provided with transit visa on Singapore Airport, as I had chosen a separate flight to my next destination. I applied for the transit visa and received the immediate approval so I could collect my bags and recheck-in with my next carrier.
I would like to say Thank You for bringing such informative vdo.. it will be a great help for a lot of people. 🙏
ALSO, People who are saying that the 'wife' is interrupting clearly shows that they don't respect their wife and doesn't respect their point of view in life. Here she is speaking because she has her point of view ..she has a lot to speak (valid points) and yes she is outspoken which some MEN can't tolerate as they (some men, not all) want to be the dominating one.
I honestly liked how BOTH (husband and wife) are speaking together and yes the 'hubby' is understanding ..he didn't stop her from sharing her points.
If only the world starts thinking like you, it will be such a beautiful place
Thank you for this. Yes, I respect my wife and I told her to add in between in case if I miss anything.
Also the emotions were very different at that point of time.
God bless you ❤️✨

It is manadatory to check connecting flights terms before booking tickets like if both airline companies are same then usually visa not required, i also did travel from delhi to Brisbane transit from
Singapore. I did not take visa in Singapore.
Hi from Singapore! Glad Changi's staff were so helpful and you guys made it to Bali. They usually are very nice and they go out their way to help. Thanks for sharing the video. All the best.
Yes they are the Best☺️🫶🏻🙏🏻
No doubt, they are very professional and helpful.
Yes. Changi staff and Singapore airlines staffs are the best. Once I was coming from Jakarta, I had connecting flight at Singapore. I simply asked Singapore airline staff to collect my luggage from belt and check in my connecting flight (Singapore Airlines flight). They just did it. I collected onwards boarding pass from counter without crossing immigration. It was easy as my arrival and departure terminals were same
Please always make your videos short and to the point without wasting words and interrupting each other.
Let him talk, you woman
I have an upcoming flight via Singapore Airlines from from India to Phuket and have a 10hr layover in Singapore.
Both the connecting flights are from the same airlines and PNR is also same.
Will I need Visa for Singapore?
Please let us know your experience.. looking for the same flights
Pls let us know your experience..
Hi, please share your experience
As long as full airline(not budget) and same pnr, same airline then you don't need visa....
I remember i was flying Tiger Airways to Singapore dor a layover and from there by Jetstar to Manila. That involved change of terminals at Changi.
At Bangalore, Tiger checkin staff asked if inhad a Singapore visa, and when i did not have, they returned me back from Bangalore airport itself.
We are planning to go to bali from mumbai. Kindly help which flight should we book from bali to mumbai
If anyone wants to go to Bali, you have layover, only choose via Thailand.
Never try it via malaysia or Singapore without visa.
Thailand you will have to go through the same process, if you have similar tickets . Only blessing is no visa required.
If the ticket is issued on ONE document, then going via Singapore or Malaysia is not a problem, as no transit visa required.
guys i had gone via malaysia . mumbai to malaysia and malaysia to bali
both the flight wer malaysia airways . i didnt required visa.
Is visa is necessary for Indian people in bali .if we r stay in only 10 in bali
Bali you can get visa on arrival
We want to share our experiences.
😊 A BIG 👍for those three
..
IT HAPPENED WITH US LAST MONTH . IN THAILAND.
OUR JOURNEY WAS PLANNED IN THIS SEQUENCE..
bangalore to bangkok DMK airport ,reaches at 5.30 am from there to Siemreap, Onward connecting flight at 11 am same day
.
Bangalore to bangkok & return ticket bangkok to bangalore done in one booking airasia flight ,through airasia app..
we have planned to visit angorwat temple siemreap for one day on our first day of trip.
So.
We booked tickets
Bangkok to siemreap AIRASIA FLIGHT. through Make my trip App
Layover time 5 hours. In DMK airport.
But.,,,,,
Both different PNR. (Bangalore to bangkok one pnr & bangkok to siemreap one pnr)
And our Return ticket from siemreap to bangkok ( it is also airasia flight) is the very next day only .,
As its our first international journey we did our research but missed this Single PNR issue ( WE HAVE thought both flights are airasia only , ,and its ONLY TRANSIT, so no issues.,,,,,)
But BIG NO. bangalore to bangkok is AIRASIA INDIA FLIGHT ., and bangkok to siem reap is AIRASIA THAILAND FLIGHT 😅
.
At bangalore airport:
the guy at the airasia check in desk in bangalore airport , he checked our tickets .
HERE I WANT TO MENTION. THIS MOST IMPORTANT THING.
we have given him our to and fro tickets blg to thailand .,
He checked our passports tickets and then he asked YOU GOING TO CAMBODIA , [ once he checked passports and as all tickets booked airasia airlines he got theidea of our journey to sieamreap] we said yes he asked for those tickets also , we handed over , he checked and then he didnt mention any thing and he offered two cabin bags can be allowed as checkin bags ,,with out extra charges..
( IF YOU HAVE TRAVELLED AIR ASIA FLIGHT YOU KNOW THEY CHARGE EXTRA FOR CHECKIN BAGGAGE).
.
At immegration check bangalore airport , we have shown to and fro tickets bangalore to bangkok. They know thailand issues visa on arrival so they stamped and let us board the flight. [ immegration officers dont have idea our siemreap trip , so they stamped. But The AirAsia desk guy he has idea of our ticket bookings , ]
.
We landed in DMK AIRPORT 😂😂😂 IN joy ., and here started all the problems .
To collect baggage we have to clear immigration and go to baggage belt.
And the airport security there he said for tht u need VISA or contact airasia travel DESK. there we met one lady , after our enquiry she says u cant PASSTHROUGH from airasia traveldesk. After so many minutes of enquiry and quetioning then she DISCLOSED THE TWIST.
THAT IS
IF WE HAD BOOKED BANGALORE TO BANGKOK FROM THERE TO SIEMREAP in a single booking using AIRASIA APP , OR any one App then the flight company will have charged this PASSTHROUGH charges and one single.PNR issued
As we have booked different tickets now no chance
1. We offered to pay PASSTHROUGH CHARGES THERE IT SELF she rejected. and said it cannot be done now, its airasia rule.😂😂😂
😢 Our onward journey is airasia flight still she rejected.
.
2. We will leave luggage just issue us onward journey boarding pass . She rejected .
.
3. We some how got internet wifi at airport checked in on airasia website done. boarding pass generated ., now immigration officers rejected as we have to go to departure level in the airport building from arrival level. 😂😂😂😂 ( May be this is passthrougj) . So either get visa or go back to India ,, the simple plan advised to us by immigration officer.
.
.
So finally we have taken express visa for me my wife 2 kids ,
And cleared immigration,
Went to baggage collection
Again reentered at departure level. Again went through immigration check . And rushed to catch our flight..
.
.
Lessons we learnt
1. Indian immigration officers do their duty properly., and based upon whats information provided to them by Us. Whether the traveller had visa or not , its not their duty to check , its traveller s responcibility to have an idea which place he is heading and rules of tht land.
.
2 NEVER DEPEND ON AIRLINE TO PROVIDE FULL INFORMATION. at last minutes before boarding flight
.
3. Its traveller s head ache to EXTRACT PROPER INFORMATION From Airlines before why bcoz many a times they say check the destination coutries website and cut call.
.
4. Never believe the CHECKIN DESK GUY/GIRL 😂😂😂😂
.
thankyou for reading a long essay
Noted
This is so true.
We have also learned our lesson but in a very hard way.
Thank you so much for taking the time out and sharing your experience.
I am sure this will help a lot of people.
I hope after all the struggle you were able to finally enjoy the trip.
You are awesome. Cheers!
Thank you so much
Very informative. Thanks
Yes if u properly researched you could have avoided the hassle.. ..
Everyone gets confused with the pnr thing which is the most important....
If u book tickets always check if it is single pnr or not.
If it is single pnr and same airlines then u don't need transit visa for connectomg flight. There are also some airlines with mutual agreement also.. That u need to check with airlines after bookig ticket...
Taking ur example if u r going to cambodia from bangalore taking Thailand as transit, u don't need transit visa if only one pnr is generated and it is same airline or airline with mutual agreement.. The baggage will be sent to cambodia and u just have to go to transit area when u reach Thailand...
In second scenario u booked two tickets one from bangalore to and fro from Thailand and onward journey to cambodia.
Here two pnr is generated that means u need to get transit visa from Thailand. The bags will not be sent to cambodia instead u need to collect from Thailand and again send it from there to new leg of journed from Thai immigration....
Also one more thing to note is that even if one pnr is generated and u have layovee for more than 24 hours u need to take transit visa...
For some countries like USA, u still need to take transit visa even if layovee time is less than 24 hours and only single pnr is generated....
You have to do ur research before going abroad...
Hope this helps
It was really nice of you guys to share this informational video. Hats off!
Jump to 7:30 for the problem faced
Thank you. The girl just doesn’t let the guy speak.
Hi bro, useful information. Thank you for that. I have a small doubt if you don’t have any luggage. You had a seeming less journey, right?
I have same question
Wow ... humanity still exists... ❤ They are like angels... And thanks to you guys for addressing this issue
Yes, they helped us a lot and we were very lucky ✨
If your ticket is not through to your final destination with code sharing flight then yes you need visa when you have layover as your baggage will be removed after one leg .
Yes, true
Wasn’t aware but now I am after this incident 😇

Hi do we require transit visa for chennai to Denpasar via Kuala Lumpur? Also should we collect the check in luggage in Kl and re check-in while boarding to Denpasar. Same airlines but different pnr!
What happened,were you allowed to go.Now i am in same situation
Many thanks for sharing, this will help a lot of people. But since our experience was quite similar though on the right side of fortune so we thought to slightly correct one of your point, that even if your airline is same but you got different PNRs you must have to cross immigration to self transfer your luggage in Singapore or Malaysia and for that you definitely need eVisa.
Oh that is something new, thanks for informing!
Appreciate it and thanks for taking the time to write it out🙏🏻🙌🏻✨
Wonderful information
Yes this Is correct my brother is working in AirAsia PNR no should be Same for Connecting flights and your Baggage will be delivered to you at Final Destination
But there is transit visa can be obtained at Singapore airport for indian upto 96 hours provided you have onward journey confirmed
It's visa free transit facility (VFTF) for Indians for 96 hours if have onward journey confirmed ticket.
madam ne video lamba kar diya 😂.
Sad mat ho naaa 😣vaidu di and Karan Bhaiya ....🤧 Aap donon always khush rahaina....😇😇
When you book cheap flights and if you have two or more airlines involved for layover, then you need to have a visa to check in again, and it says self transfer when you book your flights.
The best part of this video is how detailed and informative it is that nobody watching this will ever mess up their bookings like that again.
But honestly, the worst part? The lady kept cutting the guy off while he was calmly explaining everything. It got super annoying and distracting after a while. Like either let him explain or take over completely...don’t keep interrupting and then telling him to continue.
Anyway, I hope you’ve figured that out now from feedbacks in the comments and learned from it. Thanks for sharing this though...it’s gonna save a lot of people from dealing with the same mess on a foreign land. God bless!
Instructions me hota hai ticket krte waqt neeche kyu nhi pdha😢

Nice video. Do not rely on Low cost flights ever for an International flights. Biggest lesson learnt.
Thanks for the information.
100%
So if i am having same flight then this won't be a trouble right.
I am having my booking from ind to singapore and from there to bali
In Singapore airlines only
Same company
But different terminal like in Singapore it will arive at terminal 0 and my flight to bali after layover or 2 hrs is from terminal 2.
So this wi not make any difference for me
Am I right ??
Your story literally gave me goosebumps 🙂happy journey enjoy your honeymoon trip ❤God bless both you guys

Hello,
I am also gone through the same situation. If you have different airline carrier during the transition, its required to have a valid visa of the transiting country. If you have the same airline from point to point during the transition, don't require to have a visa for transition. I have experienced same isuse after booking flight of indigo and vietjet, from Bangalore to Tokyo(transit was hanoi).
For everyone, I am currently travelling to bali, via this route, Bangalore - Singapore - Bali.
Bangalore - Singapore via Air India,
Singapore - Bali via Jetstar.
I booked the tickets under 1 itinerary, My ticket has 2 PNRs, but 1 e ticket number.
My baggage is tagged to Bali directly, I had taken my second boarding pass from Changi airport.
NOTE : I DID NOT REQUIRE ANY VISA FOR THIS JOURNEY.
Before travelling I also had similar doubts, I tried to ask Air India on customer support, they said it can be verified on counter only. So took the risk and came to airport.
Imp points :
1. Check on counter if your baggage is getting tagged till final destination or not. If not, then you will require visa at changi airport.
2. Your connecting flight has counter inside transit area, some low budgest flights dont have counter inside transit area, so you have to pass immigration to obtain second boarding pass.
3. Confirm if both of your airlines have agreement to transfer baggage, if not you will have to rechecking at changi airport, this will require visa.
Thanks
This is so well written
And as you said took the risk it’s all about that as we too didn’t have 100% solid info on this.
Hello
I need some help on this.
Please reply asap!!
Well explain..Thanks
thanks to that 3 helping souls❤ you are lucky guys
Thanks to god !! ❤ enjoy your honeymoon cutest 🫰🏻
Thnq❤️
You do not need a visa if you do not have check in bags. If you only have cabin bags then you can change terminal without clearing immigration.
Cute couple ❤❤❤love from jharkhand❤❤❤❤
I am travelling to Bali, have layover at Kuala Lumpur. Both the connecting flights have different PNR, if I dont have any checkin baggage (Only have cabin bag). Terminals are same. Do i still need a transit visa in that case?
No we travelled during may 2023 with family if ur layover at kuala lumpur u don’t required visa…we were total to 10 member we didn’t faced such issue…i hope they have not changed any rule yet…
If I'm travelling via VIETJET from Ahmedabad to BALI.
Layover is Hanoi/Ho Chi Minh. (Less than 24 hours)
It says SELF - TRANSFER FLIGHT.
Q.1) Can I still check - in my luggage directly to BALI while boarding and not collect and recheck again in Vietnam?
Q.2) Do I need transit Visa?
Q.3) In self transfer flight. Will I get same PNR or different PNR if I book everything together? How about Transit visa in this case?
We have booked flight from Bengaluru to bali there is a layover in Singapore. Pnr is same but different airlines. Do i need to get permit visa
Same question
@@supriyabediya7508 you need visa
Same question
@@NeelSonawane you need visa
@@World_through_my_eyes_ even if the pnr is same? I read online that you don't need a visa of Singapore if the layover is less than 96 hours.
before booking the flights always confirm with the airline's customer support whether one needs a transit visa or not.
Hi guys,
Thank you for sharing this info
I am also looking to book via singapore airline
So it is delhi to singapore then singapore to bali, both carriers are singapore airline only, so will we require transit visa??
Singapore airline customer care donot have exact information on this
Awaiting your reply on this querry।
You won’t need transit visa as it’s Singapore airlines from source to destination
Doesnt't singapore provides transit visa facility for 96 hours? And since Kualalumpur is visa-free altogether then you dont need a visa for self transfer flight.
Always check for the same PNR it's called through chkin.
You will get luggage at the last stop only .
I think while booking you didn't check there must be a self transfer flight that's why you go through this problem
Yes I guess but if Indigo would have informed in Mumbai then it would have been sorted
I am also planning to visit Bali, please help me to connect with best travel agent whom you preferred .. or should we go by ourselves ..?
I can help you my travel company name Trip Knock pvt ltd you can contact or search in google
You probably would have broken your trip while booking tickets. Chennai to Singapore and Singapore to Bali while booking which is why you had a different PNR. I travel to Bali at least thrice a year and never faced this sort of an issue
I’m surprised how they were able to bypass stringent immigration rules. That never usually happens ! What exactly were the loopholes that they leveraged?!
Chennai immigration is creating the same problem to all the customers with layover flights.
Indigo is not having codeshare with krook airways
Very informative, thanks to all three ppl who helped you. Iam also traveling via singapore and this was very useful for me
While searching for videos about Bali, I stumbled upon this one. Thanks a lot, it was really helpful. Bless you and may God continue to guide you in this way.
I had an issue when transiting through Singapore. Missed my connecting flight and the wait for the next flight was 22 hrs. Got visa on arrival because I had a US B1. Singapore immigration was actually very helpful to get a transit visit and spend 22 hrs outside of the airport.
A small suggestion. It’s better if only 1 person speaks about the issue. Basically what happens, if u r flight carrier is changed in between it’s must that u should compete immigration and collect the bags and recheck from the counter. So from next time check for self check message while booking international flights.

I went to bali took flight from Amritsar to bali 3 hours layover to Singapore.. my airline was was scoot.. I got two boarding pass in Amritsar to Singapore nd Singapore to bali.. due to same airline mujhe visa ka koi issue nhi hua .. and apart from us ( bcz vha immigration clear krna hai ya nhi you need transit visa) you should have transit visa in every country if you need to clear immigration.. pls check terminal also if the terminal change and you need clear immigration to change the terminal than you also need transit visa..
Good information. I think this issue is because the tickets were booked on a makenytrip instead of booking directly on airline portal. Because if the onward flight was a cideshare flight with Indigi, you would have got your luggage directly in Bali.
Travelled to Bali via Singapore using Singapore airlines (Scoot from Singapore to Bali) in May 2022. Spent 12 hrs in Singapore airport with no ossue since Baggage was through to Bali.
Simply speaking if your itinerary consists of two different airlines and the change is in aforeign country, you cannot get your luggage to change flight! I faced the same trouble one in Dubai but approaching Marhaba desk the problem was solved by paying 300 dirhams. My baggage was collected and put on board on flight to Kenya.
Thanks for sharing your experience,
So if we have same pnr then we don't need visa for Transit, and if we have same airline then also we don't need transit visa. Please confirm 🙏
Yes, but do not go for a long layover flight for example 12hrs or 12hrs+ layover then you might require a transit visa.
It is my suggestion that always check for the visa requirements before travelling to or transit from any international destination.
Can’t imagine this situation, got so emotional watching this. Thankyou for sharing such a crucial information 😢
I think u forgot to check word " self checkin" while booking tickets , normally if it is mentioned as self checkin then you need to have a visa.. it will be treated as a separate journey
Yes your right but you ppl didn't do Or read the airline warning while booking tickets. Same airline till end then only transfers but airline change Or not same airport then visa is required
The movement they said we need to collect luggage in singapore its obvious immigration will be there. I have done many layovers but luggage checkedin will get in final destination not in layover... chalo good info for those who dont know
always remember - you dont need visa ONLY IF you get all Boarding Passes (till the final destination) at the time of baggage drop.
if you are booking a multi airlines flight - there is a high possibility that recheckin of baggage is required which is beyond immigration control.
Some airlines work in partnership to provide multi airline flight without recheckin. Always check before booking.
I will travel from chennai to Bali via Singapore layover that too in different flights and different PNR.
If i only have hand luggage do i still need to get transit visa...
No bro but make sure you are transit or connecting flight within transit terminal… then everything fine..
For the future, please check the iata travel center to know about visa requirements.
Another point, if you don't use your onward journey then the return ticket is automatically cancelled.
You PPL are right...We need to be careful while travelling overseas...! And really it's great to see that you came out of such a difficult situation...Enjoy the trip
