Germany removes airport transit visa requirement for Indian nationals
6/3/2026
Effective 3 June 2026, Indian nationals no longer require an airport transit visa to enter the international transit area of a German airport during a stopover or connecting flight.
This decision follows Federal Chancellor Merz’s visit to India in January 2026 and underscores the German Federal Government’s commitment to strengthening German-Indian relations, facilitating travel between the two countries, and supporting closer economic ties.
