“What is a U.S. Visa?
A citizen of a foreign country who seeks to enter the United States generally must first obtain a U.S. visa, which is placed in the traveler’s passport, a travel document issued by the traveler’s country of citizenship.“
Definition from below US Government website:
https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas.html
So the answer should be “Country of citizenship” is the “Issuing Country” for VISA (in your case “Germany”). “Country for which visa applies” would be “India”.
Hope this helps. (I just filled the details for my Lufthansa)
It should be INDIA.
In general scenarios, only the Government (or Govt officials representing that country) can issue visa for that country.
Air India flies to many countries, and they fly many global citizens worldwide.
In above scenario, you are traveling to India, and got your visa issued by Indian Embassy in Germany. Since Indian Embassy represents Indian Government, it should be INDIA as “Visa Country of Issue”.
Several comments have mentioned that the likely answer is India and that’s what I would put in there. In the worst case scenario Air India will correct the information when you get to the airport, whatever information you put in during check-in is not crucial.
They are referring to Germany since the Visa was issued by the Indian embassy/consulate in Germany.
