Germany Scraps Transit Visa for Indians: Major Relief for Travelers

• Indian passport holders no longer need a transit visa at German airports like Frankfurt, Munich, and Berlin.
• The announcement was made during German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's visit to India, following discussions with PM Narendra Modi.
• This facility applies only to the airport's international transit zone; a regular visa is still required to enter Germany.
• The move is expected to ease travel for Indians heading to Europe, America, or other countries, boosting tourism and business.
• India and Germany also signed 19 agreements and 8 declarations in defense, education, health, and clean energy.

Why It Matters: Germany has removed the transit visa requirement for Indian travelers, simplifying international air travel.
