passing a night in a transit airport in Schengen area the day of expiration of my visa - People walking in busy modern city

I got my 15-day visa [from 10 Nov to 24 Nov] in Finland and I booked my ticket [from 13 to 24], but there is a little problem, when returning from Finland there is a stopover in Frankfurt-Germany that will last 12 hours so my flight back from Frankfurt to Algiers will be on Nov 25th at 9:20 am. is that possible?



Best Answer

No, it is not possible since you will be leaving the Schengen Area in Frankfurt after your visa has expired.

Even if the Border Control tolerated this, it may effect future applications since the exit stamp will show that you have overstayed.
