Good afternoon I live in Russia, and my man is a citizen of the Netherlands. We are not married yet. We've been dating for almost 3 years. We learned that it was possible for me to obtain entry permission if we filled out a special form. However, they say that I can only arrive on a direct flight, without transfers. And this is impossible from Russia. I wanted to fly through Istanbul, but they would refuse me to cross the border at Schiphol. Please tell me, is this really so? Direct flights only? Thank you in advance. Tatiana
