Hi ,
I am travelling from USA to Inida via Paris (CDG) by end of January 2023. My work visa expires in Feb 2023.
Before my return trip i will get a new stamping as well.
When i had a conversation with Delta Airlines, they said i need to get Schengen visa.
Could you please confirm the current requirement ?
Hi Saravanan! If the itinerary has a connection between two airports in the Schengen Area, then you require a short-stay Schengen visa. If you happen to transit when CDG Airport is closed overnight, you need a Schengen visa to accommodate yourself outside the airport. In our knowledge, Indian passport holders having a valid visa or residence permit issued by the USA do not need an airport transit visa for France. You may need a transit Schengen visa probably because your US visa expires in FEB.

Hi Avinash! Having a valid US visa, you don’t need any other visa to transit in Paris, as far as we know. You may need a short-stay Schengen visa if your transit happens during the night in Paris. No other visa is required to transit in Amsterdam. However, you should also check with the airline.
