Hey,
I know that Germany requires no visa for RTD holders. So my friend told me that once he landed in Germany, he was given a Schengen visa at the airport meaning he could go to other European countries after have landed in Germany and was given the visa. How accurate is this information?

It's not a visa , just a stamp ... Only valid in Germany .

Given the high number of asylum seekers they now do many more border checks so you can't count on arriving Germany and then traveling around Europe which was possible before. Not a good idea to enter other countries without a visa if you are just traveling on an RTD.

Theoretically possible (a simple bus or train ticket, and we move to another country on the German border, there is theoretically no control in the Schengen area), but officially illegal if we have a travel document Canadian refugee, and no schengen visa (just a stamp) ... it's very dangerous to do that. It is an legal offense = serious risk of refusing Canadian citizenship in the future when you apply ....

I had been refused a Neteherland ( Holland ) Schengen visa two years ago ... I was content with a plan b in Germany, I never exceeded the borders of Germany ... The best thing that I had done was to get the plane tickets direct to and from Frankfort ! ...


Always do that. (precaution), and provide a spare part of travel in Germany, see in slovenia, croatia, hungaria , or slovakia (no visa for these countries too , but forget the bus or train in departure from germany , take a plane to have new stamps for other country ... dont worry about prices : domestics flys in europe are very very cheaps ).

But the first initial fly must be direct to frankfurt since Canada , very important. All consulates in the Schengen area ask for a ticket already booked, and this ticket can not be refunded ... It is therefore a risk to book directly for the Schengen country for which you need a visa.

If you are going to France, you do not need a visa with Refugee Travel Document.

Man this is wrong. Please don't share wrong info and misguide people! In Europe, Germany is the only country that does not require visa using RTD.

Can someone get a U.K visa with a RTD?

Yes. You will likely have to show that you have been working for numerous months and have savings to pay for the trip plus more. Sure you can track down application instructions online.

Any luck with applying for US visa with RTD and no PR? If the person is working and has good savings?

Every case is different. There is a decent chance though.
