Transit in Zurich, Switzerland for Pakistani Passport

Question

I am travelling from Karachi, Pakistan to Washington DC, USA via Zurich, Switzerland. My stay in Zurich is of 3hr45m. I have a valid US B1/B2 Visa and Pakistani passport, and a Pakistani nationality. Would I require a transit visa?

Answer 1

You normally require an airport transit visa, as you are a Pakistani national. However, since you have a valid US visa, you don't require the transit visa.

You can keep a printout of the document to show to airline authorities, if they are giving any trouble.
