I am reaching out for some guidance regarding transit visa requirements. As a Bangladeshi citizen, I am planning a trip that will take me through Munich, Germany, en route to Lisbon, Portugal.
My journey includes layovers in Munich, 6 hours on my way to Lisbon and 4 hours on my way back. Here are the specifics of my travel plan:
Layover duration: 6 hours in Munich while going to Lisbon and 4 hours during the return trip.
Visas: I currently hold a valid student visa for Canada and a Schengen visa for Portugal, which covers my intended travel period.
Purpose of travel: I am traveling to Portugal to present a paper at a conference.
Given these details, I am trying to determine whether I need a transit visa for the Munich part of my trip. My understanding is that the Schengen visa should allow me to transit through Munich without requiring an additional transit visa, but I would greatly appreciate any insights or confirmation from those who might have faced similar situations or have expertise in this area.
Thank you in advance for your help!
