The vast majority of foreign travellers benefit from the “transit privilege” - if during a stopover at a German airport, you do not leave the International Airport Area and if the destination is not in a Schengen country, you do not need a transit visa.

However, certain nationals require an airport transit visa (category A) for transit at a German airport.

An up-to-date list of countries whose nationals request an airport transit visa and further information on airport transit visa can be found on the website of the Federal Foreign Office.
