What Happened
Indian nationals no longer require airport transit visas when connecting through French airports, effective April 10, 2026. The exemption applies to ordinary passport holders transiting through international zones without leaving airport premises. The move, agreed during French President Macron's February India visit, reduces travel costs and paperwork for Indian travelers, following Germany's similar announcement.
