I have Indian passport and USA H1 valid visa, will be travelling US and my itinerary is Mumbai – Munich – Frankfurt – San Francisco. This route has two stops in Germany, Munich – Frankfurt is German domestic flight. I am not sure if I would need a Schengen or Transit Visa. I was going through few German and Indian consulate visa website but I am not able to get the correct info, specially below two statements are confusing. Could you please help me with this?    In these five airports in Germany you can stay at the International Transit Area without a visa: 1.  Cologne/Bonn 2.  Düsseldorf 3.  Frankfurt/Main 4.  Hamburg  5.  Munich  Airport transit privilege does not apply in the following cases and you will need to get a visitor visa if: You are transiting through two or more airports in the Schengen Countries

I am 23, female, Indian, about to travel to Paris for a conference for 4 days. I am currently unemployed, but was employed until last month. I will be applying for a Schengen visa. Do you think it will be okay to write in the application that I am still employed, since I did get my salary until last month, so the documentation is good. Do the Schengen visa officers check the employment status for everyone? I think lying is never a good option, but I also think if I show that I am just unemployed last month and apply for a visa, they might think I am not planning to return.  In reality, I resigned to study seriously for exams that will allow me higher education in India, but I don't have an admit yet, and I go to a coaching institute during weekends (I started going in February). But saying that I had this thought of resigning exactly before going to Paris sounds fishy I think.  What should I do? My bank account has salary from my employer until a week ago, so just to reiterate, the documents seem perfect if I state that I'm still employed.  I have travelled for conferences before in the past to Schengen countries as well as the UK and the US, only the US visa is valid at the moment.

I recently applied for a business Schengen visa to Switzerland (from India). However my visa approval is delayed and the purpose of the trip, which was to attend some crucial meetings, is not applicable any more. My client and I do not feel it is necessary to make the trip anymore and would like to withdraw/cancel my visa application.   Is this easy to do? Will canceling my application reflect poorly on me and hamper my future chances of traveling to the EU region or to Switzerland?

I am an Indian national. Right now I am staying in Israel. I will be moving to Germany on the last week of this month with german national visa directly from tel aviv. Ticket price of direct flight is high. So I am thinking to buy either Air France or LOT for travelling having layover at Paris or Poland. Am I allowed to do that? I mean is it mandatory to enter in Germany first? May I travel with these airlines with proper transit visa?

I am Australian and as such from a non-EU country and hold a German "Blue Card EU" which is tied to a job I had in Germany. I worked there for 1 year but stopped working there last week.  I am now in the process of applying for a Swiss working permit and I intend to move there and begin working there when that is finished. I was told that it could take more than 3 months though to get the working permit, which is kind of worrying because I am only allowed 90 visa-free days in the Schengen zone.  Therefore my question is: how long can I stay in Germany now that I have quit the job for which I had my Blue Card? Citizens of my country get 90 visa free days, so there's that, but do I get any "extra" time thanks to my blue card? It surely musn't expire as soon as I quit my job, right?

I am planning to travel to India (COK airport, Kerala) from United States. I want to take my laptop as well as my tablet (iPad). Am I allowed to take both in my backpack with my documents related my work. I think I am allowed to take only one computer as per the rule. Will the customs consider my iPad as a computer?  What all I can take?   One of my friends took 2 laptops (1 work and 1 personal) and had trouble at the airport.  Also I am planning to take some wristwatches (7 of them, each avg price is 45 $). I read in a website that I can take stuff up to max 35000 INR. Is that true? In that case, how will I manage my stuff?

My wife was not allowed to board her flight from Bangalore to the UK via Frankfurt and Dusseldorf as the Lufthansa staff claimed she needed a Shengen visa to take the flight from Frankfurt to Dusseldorf. She has an Indian passport with a valid UK spouse visa for 2 years.   I'm currently trying to book her on another flight and I've seen one going from Bangalore to Manchester,UK via Abu Dhabi and Dublin. I'm worried that the same issue may come up again in Dublin. Would she require a transit visa in this scenario to enter Dublin?  Also were the Lufthansa staff correct in not letting her board the original flight. I'm sure I've read that spouses of British Citizens are amongst those exempt from airport transit visa requirements in Germany?

I have a Schengen Visa issued by Germany, which expire on 11th Jan 2014, and I can remain in the zone till 11th Jan 23.59 PM. I have already visited Germany in the past with this visa, so I can travel whenever in Schengen zone directly from my country (Turkey).  I have a second Schengen Visa issued by Italy, which START on 12th Jan 2014, such that I can remain in Schengen zone from 12th Jan 00.00 AM onwards (I'm putting times to clarify which dates are inclusive).  I would like to travel to Greece with this visa: Entering the country on 6th January, and leaving the country on 19th January.  Is this allowed? Or do I have to leave the country first, and then re-enter through Italy?
