I have a flight from Manchester to Dusseldorf and after 4 hours I have another flight to Turkey, I don't want to go out from the Dusseldorf transit out, however my question is; my passport would be getting stamp on the Dusseldorf airport for stop changing the flight?

You will be stamped at Dusseldorf.

If you are just making a connection you should be able to stay airside and there would be no need to go through Immigration to actually enter Germany.

And sorry - but I don't understand your title at all.

You're not providing any useful information to let anyone answer your question

Whether your passport is stamped or not depends on whether you've made a single booking on one ticket (so you WON'T go hrougbh passport control in Dusseldorf) or whether your booking requires you to check your bags again in Dusseldorf - in which case you WILL go through passport control.

If you go through passport control and you're not European, your passport will be stamped. European passports won't be stamped. So if you're British, your passport won't be stamped however your connection works.

But do you or anyone else really care about what marks go onto your passport? It's quite possible your citizenship, or reasons for travelling, require you to have a visa even to make a connection in Germany: a UK visa gives doesn't give you any automatic right to land in Germany, whether or not you go through passport control there, and it's quite possible your carrier will refuse to check you onto a flight in Manchester.

You need to google for Germany's immigration dept, then follow advice on its website about visa rules for people of your nationality.

Thank you for your reply, my point is if I stay in the airport to change my flight, do I need through immigration desk ? Or in the transit area no need through the border and my passport getting the stamp?!

As flanner says -- no one can answer your question (though some will try) unless you give us more information. What nationality/what passport do you have?

Are both flights on one booking or are they separate?
