Do I need Schengen visa for transit airports?

score:1

Accepted answer

You are in a slightly different situation than the Vienna/Frankfurt question as you will not take any flight between two Schengen airports. The fact that you are not taking a flight between Amsterdam and Paris but only stopping at one Schengen airport each time (whether it's the same on the way back or not doesn't matter much) does make a difference.

In that case, you don't need to enter the Schengen area and the rules for airside transit apply. And since you have a valid US visa, it means that you can transit without visa. As an Indian citizen, if you did not have a US visa, you would still need an airport transit visa in Paris (not in Amsterdam).

Do I need a visa to transit (or layover) in the Schengen area? contains all the details.
