So, I recently had to go through the process of getting a Schengen transit visa (https://myschengen.com/blog/sc....hengen-transit-visa/ for a trip I had planned. It wasn’t as complicated as I initially thought, but still, there were a few surprises along the way. My wife and I were flying to South America, and we had a stopover in Paris. Turns out, even if you're just passing through, you still need a visa if you're not from a visa-exempt country. The application process was pretty straightforward, but I had to make sure I had all the documents in place – flight details, travel insurance, and proof that I wasn’t staying in the Schengen zone for long. I went through a service that helped me gather everything. Honestly, the waiting was the most stressful part, especially since we had a tight schedule.
