Hi All,
I am an Indian Citizen holding H1-B visa, which has been extended but not stamped. I am planning to get it stamped in India (home country) in January'2013. The flight (Lufthansa) I have booked is from Newark (USA) ->Frankfurt(Germany)->New Delhi(India). The layover in Frankfurt is only for 4 hrs.
Will I need the airport transit visa as I have a layover in Frankfurt? I also carry a valid Canadian visitor visa stamped on my passport if that matters at all.
When I checked with Lufthansa airlines customer service, they said I do not need any transit visa at all.
However, as per German consulate website I must get one.
Can someone please share the recent experiences?
Thanks in advance..!!
