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 will be staying over for 20 hour layover and I was wondering if I needed to get a visa in order to leave airport and visit the city. And if I need a visa do I apply for it while I'm on the layover in Istanbul or can I apply for it in America before I go?

I'm transiting through China in Kunming, China.  I'm a South African national and do NOT fall under the 72-hour visa free program. However on [their official (travelchina) website][1] it says:     Nationals of most countries are eligible for the 24-hour direct   transit, while a visa is needed for the passengers transiting on   Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Malaysia,   Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Turkey,   United Arab Emirates and Yemen passports.   I'm sorry if I'm missing this, but the above is rather badly worded for me does "nationals of most countries" include ALL countries except those mentioned in the list shown?  Also again sorry if I'm missing this but again it is rather badly worded for me. I will fly via Thailand to China and then via China to Canada with an 8-hour layover in China. I see Thailand is mentioned on the list. I have a Thailand residency permit where I currently reside... Would that affect me at all?  Also, any idea if I can exit the airport in China and come back under the 24-hour visa exemption (should I be exempt)?  Many thanks.

I'm planning to go to Indonesia this summer. However, Ramadan, where Muslims have to fast during the daytime, is going to be from June 18th to July 16th this year (2015).   I'm planning to go to Bali, Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi. Except for Bali, all of those regions are predominantly islamic. I have heard that during the last week of Ramadan and the following week, most Muslims in Indonesia are on holiday and are visiting their home towns and families and that thus public transport is very overcrowded during this time.    How much is a traveler/backpacker affected by Ramadan?

My parents are Indian Citizens. They hold a valid B2 Tourist Visa to USA. I'm planning to book a flight with Hyderabad (India) - Abu Dhabi (UAE) - Dublin (Ireland) - USA. The leg from Hyderabad to Dublin is operated by Etihad and I know there is no problem hopping at Abu Dhabi. The leg from Dublin to US is operated by Aer Lingus. I called Aer Lingus customer care agent told me a transit visa is required to land in Dublin. She did not care to ask for the citizenship of traveller or about the USA visa. I went through Irish immigration website - (), India is not in list of countries that require transit visa. I'm now confused. Can some one confirm if they traveled with the same itinerary recently  Update: I called Aer Lingus again. Another agent told as long as I don't exit the airport, a transit visa is not required. I think these people don't really understand trouble we go through when boarding is denied. I put this question because I read a person was denied boarding earlier - . His case mentions about denied because of different day. But I see his transit time is 12 hours only.
