I am an Indian citizen living in UK on a tier 2 visa. Recently, I have received Short stay Schengen visas (multiple entry, business trips for 1 year) for travelling to France. (Applied at French embassy Edinburgh)  Unfortunately, the tickets I have provided in my visa application needs to be cancelled as my business trip got cancelled. And I will be travelling for business probably after 4 months.  So, for now, I am planning my first entry to France for tourism purpose.  Is it okay to travel with Short stay Schengen visas (business) for tourism purpose for the very first entry to France?   I am worried because my itinerary provided for visa application is changed now. And moreover it is now for a tourism purpose.

I have a South African passport and valid visas' for the UK and Schengen. My trip is to the UK for a week then to Germany for two weeks. I'm staying in Germany for those two weeks and not going to any other Schengen states.  My Schengen visa was issued by German embassy and they have given me a multiple-entry three week visa staring from when I actually arrive in the UK. My UK visa also allows multiple entries.  Now plans have changed and I may need to go to Paris for 3 days while I'm in the UK. (The dates all fall within my allocated Schengen visa dates that I'm allowed to be in Germany so I do not have a date issue.) Is this OK? Will I have trouble with getting into France and then returning to the UK after the three day trip? My problem is that on my Schengen visa application I never said I was going to go France at all?  If its too much of a mission I'd rather not risk it but just thought I'd ask if this was in fact allowed.

I applied for a Schengen multiple entry visa but I got only one single entry with a period of stay of 21 days.  I'm traveling first to Austria; then I booked a flight to Paris, France. Is that possible or should I take only trains or vehicles to travel since my visa is only a single entry? Can I fly to other Schengen countries with a single entry visa?  Should I travel to the country that issued the visa? I'm going backpacking through Europe and I don't know my longest destination or my actual destinations, to be clearer.

I have to travel to Germany and Switzerland for business purpose. I have already been here 2 years ago. I have applied for business visa to the German consulate twice and both times the application got rejected. They have put a green stamp on the last page twice. The reason is the purpose and information submitted regarding intended stay is not reliable. I have submitted the documents to Swiss consulate and they have accepted and granted me a visa. Now I have to first travel to Germany and then to Switzerland.  So my question is, with a Schengen business visa granted by Switzerland, may I enter in Germany? Does the rejection stamp has any impact for entering at German airport ? Does it mean I cannot travel to Germany but to other Schengen countries ?

I miscalculated the number of days I would be in the Schengen region for a conference, and was fined 110 euros for overstaying by a day. Will I be refused a Schengen visa in future on account of this? I am an Indian national and was traveling on a business visa.

To apply for a Schengen business visa, you need a letter from the company in the Member state inviting you. My company is based in the UK, owns properties in Schengen countries, and I have to inspect their condition.  What letter do I get?

I am an Indian citizen living in the US. I am going back to India to get a H1B visa stamped. I have established that I would require an airport transit visa when I have a stopover in Germany.  On the way to India, I plan to visit a friend in Italy for a couple of days. For this, I will be applying for a Schengen tourist visa. My itinerary stops in Frankfurt both on the way to Milan and while heading to India from Milan.   Would I still require an airport transit visa despite having a Schengen visa?

I applied and got approved for a Schengen visa with multiple entries to the Netherlands. On my application I noted a planned trip to Romania as well. Due to changes in itinerary (the trip is being paid for by my company) I'm now only traveling to Romania. Flights and hotels are booked and have been paid for by my company.  However, I have an extra weekend in Romania and I was thinking of flying to Rome overnight only: leave Romania on Saturday to travel to Rome, leave Rome on Sunday and travel back to Romania to complete my trip.  Can I use my Schengen multiple-entry visa despite not having the Netherlands as part of my itinerary anymore?

I am planning to travel to Portugal to attend an academic conference and in that regard needed a short-stay Schengen visa. The visa application has a field "Purpose of Travel" with the following options:   - Business - Sports - Cultural - Other - Study - Visiting family or friends - Medical reasons - Official visit - Transit - Airport transit - Tourism   I am attending the conference to present the research I am conducting as a part of my PhD. So "Study" is the closest in my opinion. But I don't want the Embassy to misconstrue that it is for studying at a university in Portugal. In that case, would "Business" be the right option to choose?

I am traveling to Germany on May 1st for an exhibition for which I have already obtained a visa and its validity is up to May 13th. I am returning on May 12th and then traveling on May 17th to UK, and from UK to Switzerland for vacation with family. As time is very short for applying for a Schengen visa again after returning on the 12th with May 13-14 being a Saturday and Sunday, can I apply for Schengen visa again and can I get 2 valid Schengen visa?
