We fly to the USA with a change in PARIS = 5 hours? To walk around PARIS you need a SCHENGEN
We are flying to the US with a US visa. Transfer in PARIS = 5 hours. Do I still need to do SCHENGEN for a walk around PARIS or at the airport it will be possible to buy a transit visa. Or will I have to sit at the Paris airport for 5 hours

transit visa must be obtained
but 5 hours is not enough. I do not advise. you will not see anything and you will constantly think about time
besides, if your plane is late, then you will not have time and just throw away the money in vain

The docking time starts from the moment of landing, so in reality you have not five but 3-3.5 hours of free time, it’s better to take a walk around the airport and don’t tempt fate and your nerves))) why waste time and money on opening a transit visa in order to twitch later in transport and worry that you will not be late for the flight.

What is the minimum day time needed for a short walk through the transit city, so as not to be afraid of being late? What is the transit ritual?
Do I need to register in advance on my own for the first flight and for the second immediately
or you arrive at the first point, get off, pick up your luggage and check in again yourself. flight to destination?

If 8 hours in PARIS, do you need to open a visa at home or in PARIS at the airport?

if the docking is 1-2 hours, is it better not to risk it? If the first flight is late, does the connecting ticket disappear or can we be put on another flight (for example, the next day)?

You need to open a visa at home, this is not Turkey and Egypt, but Europe they don’t sell visas at the airport))) if the connection is 1-2 hours, then there can be no talk of walking, if it’s 8 hours, then you can take a walk. Regarding luggage, it is better to check with the air ticket office or the airline operating the flight. Surely fly by Aeroflot to Paris and from there to the states with another company, I won’t say for Paris, but I found out for myself that when changing in New York, I would have to receive luggage and check in again for a flight to Miami.

In any case, I advise you to find a map of the Charles Degaul Airport in Paris in advance on the net to get your bearings, the airport is very large.

even if you are in Europe for 8 hours and want to walk around the city, do you need to apply for a full-fledged SCHENGEN?

If you are going to fly from a third country to a third country and air traffic involves landing at an airport located in the Schengen area, and also: you are not going to leave the international transit zone of the airport, you must obtain an airport transit visa A.
Airport transit visa A only entitles you to enter and stay in the international transit area of the airport (does not entitle you to enter the Schengen area or leave the airport transit area).
If you plan to leave the airport building, apply for a Schengen visa, as you will be crossing the customs zone.
