    The UK doesn’t have an ‘F1’ visa type AFAIK – Traveller Jan 18 '23 at 13:35
  • Neither does UK has an F1 visa nor does any official source has any absurd information. All three official sources, Polish official websites, EU official website and Timatic have clear info regarding the nationalities who need an airport transit visa for Poland, and India is not on the list (for airside transit). – Thomas Cruise Jan 18 '23 at 21:59

If you have a single ticket/PNR :

TIMATIC states :

Visa required. TWOV (Transit Without Visa)

Passengers transiting through Warsaw (WAW) and arriving from a non-Schengen Member State with a confirmed onward ticket for a flight within 24 hours to a third country which is not a Schengen Member State. They must:

  • stay in the international transit area of the airport, and
  • have documents required for the next destination.

You won't need a visa

If you are on multiple tickets :

It is extremely likely that you won't be allowed to board in India, even if you don't leave the transit area, if you don't have a Polish C (tourist) visa Info about how to apply
