The Germany Airport Transit Visa allows a short stopover in the international transit area of a German airport, without leaving that area or staying overnight. Indian nationals generally require an airport transit visa for the Schengen area.
Some travellers are exempt — for example, Indian nationals holding a valid Schengen visa or residence permit, or a valid visa or residence permit for Canada, Japan, the USA or the UK, among others. If you need to leave the international transit area, a regular Schengen visa is required instead.
Lifeset Overseas confirms whether you need the airport transit visa or a regular Schengen visa, and prepares the file so the connection through Germany is straightforward.
