Transit visa may be required
Travelers do not need a transit visa if staying in the airport's international area with destination outside the Schengen Area. Travelers must present an onward ticket or an entry visa to a third country. Travelers should contact their airline to check if transit is permitted through the airport listed on their itinerary. Only certain airlines may allow travelers to transit without a visa through certain airports. Check the source for more details on airport-specific conditions and transit facilities.
