I am flying from Charlotte, NC to Bangalore, India via Lufthansa and have two connecting flights. I fly from Charlotte to Munich, Munich to Frankfurt and Frankfurt to Bangalore. The layover time in Munich is 40 minutes. I arrive and depart Munich at Terminal 2.

Do I need a transit visa to go from Munich and Frankfurt? I have an Indian passport and a United States Visa? and if not, would 40 minutes be sufficient?

    You need a Schengen visa to fly between Munich and Frankfurt. – phoog Sep 22 '19 at 22:58

    To complete @phoog comment: You will have to go through passport control (entry in the Schengen area) in Munich. I never transited in Munich and I don't know how it is organised but with the additional delay of the border check, 40 minutes seems a bit short. – Relaxed Sep 22 '19 at 23:37

  • @NateEldredge, I have edited my question as I felt this is not a duplicate of the one you mention – Abhijith Bagepalli Sep 22 '19 at 23:54

    The question about whether you need a transit visa is a duplicate of https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/17385/is-a-schengen-visa-transit-visa-required-for-a-transit-flight-through-two-scheng, then. The system doesn't allow marking a question as a duplicate of two other questions, but the two questions I linked, between them, should answer everything you're asking. If they don't, please explain what is special about your case. – Nate Eldredge Sep 23 '19 at 00:07
  • 40 minutes is enough to change planes in MUC, even non-schengen to schengen. It is very common for european airlines to offer such short connections. However the MUC - FRA flight is an internal one, and you will need a Schengen visa. – Krist van Besien Sep 23 '19 at 07:16
