I am resident of India (Indian passport). I am travelling from Israel (Tel Aviv) to Rome (Fiumicino) on El Al Airlines, and from Rome (Fiumicino), I fly to India (Delhi) on Air India Airlines.
The connection time between the two flights is 3 hours.
Do I need to get a transit visa or is it not required?
Best Answer
As stated in Timatic, the database used by Airlines:
Visa required, except for Holders of onward tickets for a max. transit of 48 hours through Milan (MXP), Rome (FCO) or Venice (VCE)
So if the trip is in one booking, you do not Need a visa. Otherwise you do.
