Hello,
First time poster here.
I plan to visit home (Lebanon) in a couple of weeks. I only hold a Lebanese passport.
I will be flying JFK-FRA-BEY and back on Lufthansa airlines the whole way. I used to always get transit visa's through Germany but recently the German consulate website added the following details to their consulate website. It doesnt sound like I need a transit visa, but I thought I would check:
See the Link here at the http://www.germany.info/Vertretung/u...sit__Visa.html
The consulate states that
If I am flying lufthansa all the way. So I will not need to pick up my baggage and I only need to clear security and walk over to my next gate. Does this mean I dont need a transit visa? This verbiage was added recently because it wasnt there earlier in the year.
Thanks,
mas

The consulate states that
Only three airports in Germany, have an International Transit Area
* Frankfurt/Main
* Munich (München)
* Hamburg (limited time frame only 04.30 a.m. to 11.30 p.m.)
Please check with your Airline, if you have to pick up your baggage and/or have to check-in again.
If so, you need to enter Germany. You will need a transit visa.
