Schengen Visa type?
I am an Indian citizen. I need to go to spain for 10 days to attend a summer school.
Flight details Delhi->munich->Bilbao
Bilbao->Munich->Frankfurt->Delhi
There is no overnight stay at any of the transit airports. What type of Visa do I need? Do I still need an airport transit visa?
Best Answer
Both Spain and Germany are in the Schengen travel area. You will enter the Schengen area in Munich and go through immigration controls there, and leave again from Frankfurt. The flights from Germany to Spain are effectively domestic flights.
- You need a Schengen C visa, valid from the day when you land in Munich to the day you leave from Frankfurt.
- The visa will be issued by Spain, not Germany, because Spain is the main destination of your trip.

Answer 2
You will not need an airport transit visa because you will have a short-stay type C visa. You will enter the Schengen area in Munich and leave it in Frankfurt. There will be no "systematic" passport control in Spain, though there is a chance that you'll encounter a less formal check.
