If my Schengen visa starts on the day of arrival which is one day ahead of departure, would they let me get into the plane?

The purpose of the airline checking your ticket, visa and passport is to ensure that they can legally transport you to your destination, and believe from that evidence that you will be permitted into the country of destination.

For this to occur, you need to usually show some or all of:

  • a return ticket, or exit ticket out of the destination country
  • a valid passport, sometimes with pages/months free on the passport
  • a visa for the country, valid for when you enter the country

So, for this question, the focus is on the visa. Their simple process will be – when he arrives, will he have a valid visa? Yes. Great, approved.

Similarly, if your visa was valid on the day you left and NOT when you arrived (ie you were arriving at the end of your visa for some weird reason) they’d hopefully not let you board, as when you arrive, your visa wouldn’t be valid.

Conclusion: Fly, and enjoy Germany!
