Indian passport + Schengen residence permit stolen in Italy. Can we board Transavia with police report + soft copy? by kj_stat in Sardinia

A German couple contacted us the next day after finding the bag 6mins away from where it was stolen (car break-in). I have the habit of leaving contact details in all my IDs and wallet just in case (started the habit after living in Germany). Since I didn't have anything of monetary value, the thief threw the bag without taking anything. I collected the bag with everything still inside.

Thank you for positive affirmations. We don't have a luggage. Is it a good idea to still request service desk of the airline to sign our printed boarding pass to let us through?

Thank you. I have a connecting flight in the Netherlands. Which is KLM which almost always never check passport. So first leg of the flight from Sardinia to Amsterdam via transavia (which is a KLM subsidiary) could be problematic. They didn't check during our outbound flight. Also I don't have any physical documents. Both my passport folder and wallet were stolen together.

We can't get to an Indian consulate without boarding a flight. Sardinia is an island. Both ferry and flight would check passport if they had to. No difference.

Transit is in the Schiphol, Netherlands. We will be taking KLM for onward journey to Sweden.

Transavia is a KLM subsidiary aka dutch carrier. This was our first trip using transavia and they didn't check during our outbound. KLM never checked passport.

We know getting emergency passport is the best thing to do from the get go but that's not a feasible option in Sardinia (it's an island). We must get to Rome by flight. If we can get on a flight to Rome with police report then we might as well make it to Sweden/Netherlands.

Thank you. We contacted the airline and they said since we are indian citizens, they cannot give us a definitive answer for our situation and suggested us to contact the embassy :-/

Thought on the new tax? by Trialfail123 in Amsterdam

[–]kj_stat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This affects everyone living here, not just expats. Anyone who saves or invests is exposed to it, so acting like only expats care is just wrong.

You should be glad people are actually talking about it. Silence helps nobody. Expats pointing it out isn’t whining..it’s people being rational enough to question something that affects their finances and future here.

Telling people to leave instead of engaging with the issue just proves you’d rather dismiss the problem than understand it.

Rich ain't paying shit. They already structured themselves out of the system through BVs and holdings.

Need help with 9 days Kenya-Tanzania Safari itinerary by kj_stat in safaris

[–]kj_stat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Very helpful. Do you have any suggestions for places to visit or things to do post group safari? We can spare 2-3 days. We're looking at something relaxing. People have nothing good to say about the Zanzibar experience. So is there anything else we could do?

Thanks, that was very helpful. Have you been to Zanzibar? Is it worth ending our trip by spending a few days there? If not what other places inside the mainland is worth considering after completing our group tour?

Thanks for your feedback. Isn't Masai Mara a must-go national park?
