Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (CAIXA_ERRADA: Value is an ATV application supporting-document requirement (intention not to enter Schengen), i.e. R5 application evidence; it says nothing on whether the traveller can stay airside or when immigration control must be crossed.)

What officially documented baggage collection, terminal, separate-ticket or self-transfer situations affect the immigration requirement?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the baggage, terminal-change and self-transfer rules.

Limits of the record
  • The previous current answer asserted positive route details without supporting evidence while marked not_found; this successor records only the evidence gap.

What maximum transit period, overnight, airport-change or multiple-stop rules matter?

If permission is required, what permission is it, where/how is it obtained, and what core onward-travel evidence is required?

The application requires a passport, application form, photo, fingerprints, supporting documents on the onward journey to the final destination and on the intention not to enter the Schengen Area, and a fee. The official source does not state where the visa is applied for.

Limits of the record
  • The page does not say where (which embassy/consulate) the visa is applied for.
