Transit visa for India-Germany-Amsterdam
I am travelling from India to Netherlands, and have Schengen visa for Netherlands. I have a flight layover at Frankfurt, Germany.
Do I need a transit visa for changing flights (same terminal)?
Best Answer
No you don't.
Once you enter Germany, you'll already be inside the Schengen zone. In effect, your flight from Germany to Netherlands is a "domestic" flight, because you don't need separate visa to transit between these two Shengen member states.
The single entry means you can enter once to the Schengen zone; so you'll be fine (as long as you don't exit the Schengen area - which as per your question you are not planning to).
