Germany Grants Visa-Free Transit for Indians: Smooth Travel Ahead!

• Germany now offers visa-free transit for Indian passport holders at its airports, easing long-haul travel.
• This facility applies only to airport transit; travelers cannot enter German cities without a valid visa.
• The decision is part of broader cooperation between India and Germany in education, mobility, and economic engagement.
• Only five German airports (Frankfurt/Main, Munich, Hamburg, Düsseldorf, Berlin-Brandenburg) have international transit zones for this arrangement.
• Indian travelers with valid long-stay visas or residence permits from EU, Schengen, US, Canada, Japan, or diplomatic passports are exempt from transit visa requirements.

Why It Matters: Germany introduces visa-free airport transit for Indians, simplifying international travel and boosting bilateral ties.
