Travelling from France with a German student residency and a Fiktionsbescheinigung

11/29/2017 5:43:16 AM

Timatic, the database used by airlines, states the following when Germany is put as the destination:

Visa required, except for Passengers with a Temporary
Residence Permit (Fiktionsbescheinigung) issued by Germany.
They must hold the expired resident permit and a valid
passport. The third box on the Temporary Residence Permit must
be ticked.

When France is put as the destination (and this is where you’ll fly to on the way back) this is not mentioned.

Unless check-in staff at the departure airport is familiar with the Fiktionsbescheinigung and automatically assumes it to be valid for France (I personally have no idea whether it is), they will refer to Timatic, and because this document isn’t mentioned when France is put as the destination, they will deny you boarding.

As such, your safest bet is to re-book your return flight so that you fly into a German airport.
