Germany waives transit visa for Indians
03.06.2026
New Delhi : Indians will no longer need a transit visa when travelling to another country with a layover at a German airport, the country’s embassy said here on Tuesday.
The decision will come into effect on June 3. “The lifting of the airport transit visa for Indian citizens was announced in the Federal Law Gazette on June 2, and takes effect on June 3,” the German embassy said in a statement. “It underlines the federal govt’s commitment to deepening German-Indian relations, facilitating the movement of people, and further strengthening economic ties,” it said.
This comes as a result of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s visit to India in Jan, the embassy said. In April, the ministry of external affairs said the visa-free transit for Indians transiting through France had been operationalised by the French govt. PTI
