FYI: Using AP via Frankfurt

[fl_2002]

For those of you confused about whether or not to get a transit visa. The answer is NO.
I recently (10 days back) came back from India via Frankfurt on AP.
At the boarding gate for the connecting flight, they only asked for our passports. Did NOT even ask for Parole document. Note that my passport does not have any visa stamp either.
Only when checking in at Mumbai, they asked for Parole documents and I produced a photo copy. They simply enter the data in their computer. The guys at Frankfurt probably have this info. on their systems already.

At POE (Miami) was directed immediately to secondary inspection where after a wait for about 45 min, was called, AP stamped and sent on our way. NOT a single question asked.

So guys don't fret over this transit visa for germany. Coz you don't need one.

Using AP Visa Frankfurt

Thanks!!!

That was a very useful piece of information. I am travelling Bangalore-Frankfurt-Dulles on the 11th and was very nervous about it

I almost was on the verge of cancelling the ticket.

Thanks again
