Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by.

Me and my hubby will be traveling to Russia this summer. We are going to have connection in Frankfurt for 7-12 hours (depends on the flight we pick). So, we are thinking of going to the city for a bit. The questions are: do we need to apply for a visa or we can just show our tickets to get a transit via right there and then? In other words, what is the procedure? Where can I look for such info?

Also note, my hubby holds US passport and I hold Russian passport.

Thank you for your time.

If by that time you are a green-card holder you can make connection without a visa under certain conditions:

TWOV (Transit Without Visa):

Visa required, except for Those transiting to a third country by the same or first connecting flight without leaving the transit lounge. Warning: Transit only possible at Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg and Dusseldorf Airports, MORE...

i know that us citizens dont need a visa for germany, my then fiance visited me a couple times and it was never a problem! us citizens are able to stay up to 90 days without having to apply for a visa.

i dont really know what the rules for russian citizens are though, why dont you check the russian consulate or german consulate webpage, you should find some answers there!

No, A US citizen is welcome to enter Germany on Visa Waiver Program, however a Russian Citizen will need a visa to visit Germany.

Thank you for your time.

Your husband US citizen can go out with his Passport from airpot, but you will need a Visa because you're Russian Citizen. Check with German Consulate how you can get this Visa. I think it calls Shengen
