The Government of the Federal Republic of Germany has announced that there has been a relaxation of the rules for transit visas.
Citizens of several countries are subject to very strict transit visa policies if they intend to travel through a German airport.
HOWEVER, all travelers no longer require an airport transit
visa (even if they are citizens of a suspect country) if they meet one or more of the following requirements:
- holders of a valid Canadian Permanent Resident Card
- holders of a valid
Canadian visa
- travelers who leave Canada after having used a Canadian visa
and still have legal status in Canada (Your status in Canada is legal until the
date stamped in your passport when you entered Canada. If you have a work/study
permit your status is legal until the permit expires.)
It
is the responsibility of the individual traveler to ensure that their
documents are valid for their journey into Germany and the Schengen
Zone.
