Hello Travel Community,

I am a Bangladeshi citizen planning to travel through France en route to another destination. My itinerary includes a short layover in a French airport, and I am trying to figure out if I need a transit visa for this part of my journey.

Here are the specifics of my situation:

Layover Duration: The layover in France is 4 hours Airport Details: I will be transiting through Charles de Gaulle Airport Stay in Transit Zone: I plan to stay inside the international transit zone of the airport. Other Visas: I do hold a valid student visa for Canada Purpose of Travel: My primary destination is to go to Portual for a Conference to present a paper

Given these details, could someone advise me if a transit visa is required for a Bangladeshi citizen under these circumstances? Also, if there are any recent changes in the French transit visa policy that I should be aware of, that information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your assistance!
