Transiting in Frankfurt - Canadian visa expires on transit, but have a US B1/B2 - enough?

I am an Indian citizen and have a valid Canadian visa until April 16 and I am boarding Lufthansa the same day; so while I'm in transit on April 17th, my Canadian visa is not legal. I do have a valid US B1/B2 visa.

Is that enough for transiting through Frankfurt?

Best Answer

According to Transit Visa Regulation for Indian Residents:

3. Indian nationals can Transit without Visa via FRA or MUC if holding a valid visa for the destination and a valid Visa for any of the following countries

Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Ireland, Japan, Liechtenstein, Romania, UK and USA (the approval notice I-797 is not valid document for visa free airport transit).

If your Canadian visa expires in transit, and you still have a valid USA visa, then you should still be eligible for visa-free transit in Frankfurt (since your destination is India).
