I am currently Chinese citizen studying in Canada, I am booking a flight from Canada to Beijing via France. In Paris I have to wait for more than 8 hours for the next connection flight to Beijing. Do I need a Transit Visa in France?  I am not sure whether the baggage claim would make me have to get into the country.  The tag already told me to look for answer in another article, I will move to that.

I've been in Mexico for a month and a half and I'm currently heading to Mexico City to apply for a Chinese visa since I already have a flight back to China but my previous visa expired.  China requires a minimum of three bookings to issue a visa: One flight to China, One flight out of China, and one accommodation booking. Even if you intend to enter and/or leave via a land border and even if you're applying for a double-entry visa you only need show these reservations for the first entry.  Previously I have done this in Laos and Australia. In Vientiane one travel agent understood exactly what I needed and made the bookings, printed them out, then cancelled them for just a few dollars. In Australia a friend who worked as a travel agent at the time booked my flights and sent me the bookings before cancelling them.  In Mexico City I don't have such a friend and where you can walk around every travel agency in Vientiane in less than an hour, Mexico City is one of the biggest cities in the world.  I know I can book some kind of flight with no or low cancellation fee myself but don't know how to find such flights. There might be other ways I never thought of.

Few days back I did a Europe tour from India. As stated by many (I haven't confirmed official documents), I can apply for a visa from the country which is either my first port of entry in this case Paris or the longest stay which in this case was Italy.  Now following is what happened with me.   My flight was New Delhi to Paris via Istanbul with Turkish Airlines I Traveled from New Delhi to Istanbul (no problem here). When I was boarding to flight Istanbul to Paris, zhe airlines officials (the ones who checks the boarding pass before boarding the flight) told me that I could not board the flight because my visa was issued by Italy and I need to go to Italy First. They were denying the longest stay option of the visa. Moreover NONE of the staff of Istanbul airport were able to understand English so I had to go to a lot of problems before I managed to get tickets to Venice. I somehow managed to fly to Venice from Istanbul after almost 24 hours of struggle at Istanbul airport (without food and water).   So, my question is do the airlines staff have a right to deny flight boarding in this case?

I am traveling from the US to India via London Heathrow on November 6. I will be at LHR on 7th at 6:20 am and departing at 9:25 pm. I'm an Indian national and have a valid US visa.  Do I need a transit visa to stay airside?  I have been scared that British Airways have stopped a few people from boarding flights (no details just rumors).  Do I need a transit visa to stay landside? I want to do some sightseeing. What are the chances of getting past officials using transit without visa concession?  Real stories will help a lot to calm the butterflies in my stomach.

My wife, a Chinese citizen living in the United Kingdom under a spousal visa, will be travelling from London to Beijing next summer. She has a layover at Boryspil Airport for a little over 4 hours. She is flying both into and out of the airport with Ukraine International Airlines, which  says that all of its flights arrive and depart from Terminal D. I  that a transit visa is needed for Chinese citizens. However, I also read that , but no evidence seems to be offered for that claim. Is a transit visa required if she stays in Terminal D for the entirety of the layover? If not, where are the official sources stating that staying in the terminal is permissible without such a visa?

I am an Indian citizen. I am flying from Toronto to New Delhi. I have two transits: one at Lisbon airport and the second one at Madrid airport.  While the Consulate of Portugal has assured me that I do not need an airport transit visa during my 2 hours stay in Lisbon airport, I did not get a definitive answer from the consulate of Spain in Toronto.   At Madrid airport, I need to make a transfer from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1.   Does anyone here know whether I need to pass through immigration while making this transition in Madrid and if so, do I need a Schengen visa for that?

I have a flight booking from San Jose, USA to Frankfurt, Germany. The itinerary has a transit through Charles de Gaulle, Paris. Since this will be my first stop in the Schengen Region, will I have to go through Passport control at Paris?   My concern is that my flight has a transit time of 90 minutes at CDG. Will this be enough to go through whatever administrative steps are required?  EDIT: I'm an Indian citizen with a Long-Term residence visa for Germany.

I have a Las Vegas to Rome flight booked with Air Canada, which gives me an 11-hour layover in Montreal. My luggage will go directly through to Rome from Las Vegas, so I won't need to get it in Montreal.  I already have my eTA for transit through Canada. Can I leave the airport for a sightseeing tour of Montreal? Will it be okay with Customs &amp; Immigration? I'll carry just a small carry-on backpack with me.

Someone told me I need a ticket out of Thailand in order to enter.  I am traveling to Thailand, on March 18th. I have a Ticket from Bangkok to Sweden booked for June 4th.   I will be staying in Thailand for 2 weeks when I arrive there, then traveling around Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam until June 4th when I leave.   With that ticket out of Thailand, will I be able to get in and get a (30 day) Visa-On-Arrival (or not because the ticket out is not within the first 30 days). Or do I need to show proof that I am leaving within 2 weeks of being there at first?

Is 1h25' enough time to go through customs and immigration in CLT (coming from Rome Fiumicino) before a connecting domestic flight? I have an Italian passport and I am not an US citizen or resident.  If the answer is "probably no", I assume it will be the airline's responsibility to reschedule me on a later flight, if both my flights are operated by the same company and sold on the same e-ticket --- am I correct?

I want to visit some countries my flights transit through. I live in Pakistan and flights to America often transit through the UK or Europe. Flights to Europe mostly transit from Middle East. I assume that I need to have a regular visit Visa for these countries.  Can I book some flight that allows me to exit the airport and stay about 2-3 days (48-72 hours) in the country I'm transiting through?
