Do I Need a Paris Transit Visa for US Visa Stamping?

If you're only transiting through Paris and not leaving the airport’s international transit area, you do not typically need a visa for the Paris airport (Charles de Gaulle or Orly) as long as:

• You have a valid passport for your journey.

• You have a confirmed onward flight ticket to your final destination (India).

• You do not need to pass through French border control, meaning you stay within the international transit zone.

However, if you need to leave the international transit area, for example, if you're switching airports or you have a long layover and plan to leave the airport, you would need a Schengen short-stay visa.

Since rules can change and depend on specific circumstances (like your nationality or flight arrangements), I recommend confirming with the airline or checking the official French consulate website to ensure you meet all the requirements. Safe travels!
