Traveling from Frankfurt to Madrid on a single-entry Schengen visa

8/26/2018 6:07:08 PM

LATAM (or specifically, LATAM Chile) is a Chile based airline.

This particular flight is what’s known as a “tag” flight – an additional leg that’s added onto an international flight to allow them to pickup passengers in two separate locations before a long-haul flight. Some airlines will also carry passengers between those two pick-up points, as is occurring here.

Specifically for this situation, LATAM flight 705 flies FRA-MAD-SCL (Santiago, Chile).

As this is fundamentally an international (non-Schengen) flight, it will depart from the international terminal in Frankfurt and Madrid, and thus departing passengers from Frankfurt (regardless of their destination) will need to pass through immigration in Frankfurt. For passengers only going as far as Madrid, they will thus need to re-enter the Schengen region in Madrid – which will require a multi-entry visa.

This is NOT the same for all airlines – it is specific to this flight. If you book this same trip on an airline such as Lufthansa, Iberia or Air Europa then it will be considered a Schengen “domestic” flight, and you will not require a multi-entry visa.
