Hello, I am planning to go to Montenegro with a Refugee Travel Document via Vienna or Warsaw. I do not have a PR yet, I only have an RTD.

Does Montenegro accept only RTD? Also, has anyone flown via Vienna or Warsaw before? Do these two places require a transit visa for RTD?

Thank you

You do not require a Visa to Montenegro with RTD and no PR, but you sure need a Schengen Visa to fly through Vienna or Warsaw. Best option is for you to fly through Frankfurt or Munich on Lufthansa, Air Canada or Condor.

Hi guys, has anyone had the experience of traveling to the UK with a travel document. Is a visa needed? If it is just for transit, do you need a visa?

Yes I traveled twice to the UK with RTD, once without PR and once with PR.
You need a visa for sure, transit or tourism or whatever. Might be different types depending on what you are going to the UK for.

Hi everyone. I’d like to renew my RTD, which is still valid until next March. I’m wondering when would be the best time to start the process. Please let me know if you have any links or information on how to renew it. Also, I heard the address where the documents need to be delivered has changed, if you have any info about that, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!"

I received the new one. Mine was going to expire April 2025. I did not want to take risk and applied for new one earlier.

Thank you for your quick response. I feel the same—I don’t want to risk it by waiting until the last minute. Did you apply for the urgent one? I saw your earlier messages about the timing, and it seems you got the new one pretty fast.
