Air France travel documents

Indian nationals need a Schengen visa to enter France for any purpose, valid for the length of stay; your passport should have at least 2 blank pages and be valid at least 3 months beyond your departure from the Schengen area. Since April 2026, Indian passport holders no longer need an airport transit visa to connect airside through French airports including Paris-CDG.

Indian domestic flights generally accept a range of approved photo IDs, while international travel requires a passport. Check the airline's current accepted-document list for your passenger category.

Airlines commonly verify entry and transit eligibility before international boarding. Immigration authorities make the final admission decision.

Contact the airline or original booking platform before departure. Correction options depend on the size of the mismatch and fare rules.
