Do I need a schengen visa..where to apply for it?
-
I am a US permanent resident but an Indian Citizen and will be visiting India with a shot layover in Amsterdam and coming back through Paris where I intend to stay for couple of days before returning back in US. Please, tell me do I need a Schengen Visa? If I take one visa would it be applicable for both countries (holland, France)? What type of visa I should apply for and where I can do that? I am a resident of Atlanta, GA.... thanks! much for your help in advance..

Answer:
You will need a short stay (type C) Schengen visa for France which can be applied for at the French Consulate General in Atlanta. http://www.consulfrance-atlanta.org/spip.php?article605#SCHENGEN-VISAS-1-90-DAYS .. A transit visa (type B) would not help you since the Schengen provisions are different from those commonly applied in Asia. Citizens of India do not need an Airside Transit Visa for the Netherlands if they stay within the international area or the airport. http://www.timaticweb.com/cgi-bin/tim_website_client.cgi?SpecData=1&VISA=&HEALTH=&page=both&NA=IN&AR=US&TR=NL&DE=IN&VT=US&EM=US&PASSTYPES=PASS&user=SKYWEB&subuser=SKYWEB1 ..

You will need a Schengen tourist visa to visit France. Since France is your primary destination, you should apply at the nearest French consulate, which in your case is right there in Atlanta. The French Schengen visa will allow you to travel to all Schengen countries, including France and the Netherlands. As a US Green Card holder you do not need a visa to transit through the airport unless you want to leave the transit area, so you won't need a visa on your outbound trip.
