I'm a foreign national working in the USA. I applied for a French tourist visa and was offered a visa from July 30, 2018 to August 30, 2018. Now, due to some schedule changes at work, I have to change my travel plans. I would like to now travel to Spain from August 23, 2018 to September 10, 2018.  In this case, I cannot use my French visa to travel to Spain as my travel dates are not within my French visa dates. Hence, I’ll need a new visa.  Am I eligible to apply for a new visa with Spain? Do I need to cancel my French visa before applying for a Spanish visa as the dates are overlapping?   Can I apply for a Spanish visa starting August 31, 2018 (One day after my French visa expires)?  Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I currently have a valid Schengen tourist visa that expires next year, issued by the French Consulate in Saudi Arabia.   I am going to a 60-day study abroad program in Italy and they require a student visa. I went to the Italian Consulate in Boston and they asked me to go to the French Consulate and cancel my visa. However, the French Consulate said that I needed to contact the French Embassy in Saudi to cancel the visa.   How can I cancel my tourist visa if I am currently in the United States? My Italian student visa application is due tomorrow morning.

I have planned travel to Iceland, Germany and Spain this summer, from July 1st to July 21st. I see that EU Commission is now considering visa requirements for US citizens and may come to a decision by mid June.    How do I apply for a visa when there is no current requirement?

In July 2015, I have been granted Multiple entry Schengen Visa valid for 5 years, with duration of stay : 90 days. My job requires me to frequently travel In and Out of Schengen countries, and have almost consumed 40 days by now, and I am afraid I will soon exhaust these 90 days stay limit.  Question 1: If by chance I exceed 90 days before the expiry in year 2020, what will happen ?  Question 2: Is there any way I can apply to Consulate who issued me this Visa and extend my limit of stay in Schengen, or do I need to apply for another type of Visa for my frequent travel to Schengen?

I was admitted to the US as a visitor for a period which expires soon.  Until tonight, I had solid plans to return to Europe soon, prior to the expiration of the visa entry, but that is no longer an option.  I do not wish to overstay or do anything that would cause problems with future admissions or visa applications.  However, I can't go back to Europe because of new travel restrictions put in place by the US government (/resulting flight cancellations).    My passport still has years of validity left.  What is the best course of action? Is there any official guidance on this subject?  I am a little concerned that contacting officials to explain the situation would just lead me to be flagged for prompt enforcement action, but I don't want future problems.    Related:  and .    Update: OP now planning an escape to Canada.  The question still stands, though.

I will have to visit Europe twice for five months in total. I am Thai and will need a visa. The maximum stay in europe is 90 days, otherwise you have to apply for a long term stay according to my research. However, it will be complicated and time consuming.  This is my travel plan:   Aug - Sep: Munich Sep - Nov: France (I have to complete a short course in Paris which is not more than 90 days) Nov - Dec: Munich again    I am aware that I need to leave and re-enter the country when the duration reaches 90 days. Can I apply for a tourist visa in Germany's embassy for 90 days that's valid in six months and a second visa from France for 90 days. In between these trips, I will leave the continent to Russia or Turkey where a visa is not required and re-enter again.  Therefore I need two Schengen visas but is it possible to have two Schengen visas in one passport?

I have a Schengen Visa issued by Germany, which expire on 11th Jan 2014, and I can remain in the zone till 11th Jan 23.59 PM. I have already visited Germany in the past with this visa, so I can travel whenever in Schengen zone directly from my country (Turkey).  I have a second Schengen Visa issued by Italy, which START on 12th Jan 2014, such that I can remain in Schengen zone from 12th Jan 00.00 AM onwards (I'm putting times to clarify which dates are inclusive).  I would like to travel to Greece with this visa: Entering the country on 6th January, and leaving the country on 19th January.  Is this allowed? Or do I have to leave the country first, and then re-enter through Italy?

A friend of mine has a visa appointment at German embassy booked at 14th of June. Mine is 20th of June, as there were no earlier dates available. Now, my friend wants to cancel her appointment.    Does anyone know how soon the time she cancelled appears as available if I want to re-schedule mine?    I am aware that it takes 1-2 days to delete my information from embassy's database, which means I have to wait to be able to book an appointment. I can cancel my appointment first, then ask my friend cancel hers. I am afraid I might miss her date, so I need to know whether it appears immediately after she cancels or there is another procedure as well.

My dilemma is that I was admitted to the US under my B2 visa on October 27 2017, my passport was stamped with a end of stay of April 26, 2018. (see first picture).  I then went to Iceland for 10 days and when I re-entered my passport was stamped again, but this time it was stamped with 'WT' not 'B2'. The departure date on this stamp was April 6, 2018 (he only gave me 90 days as he admitted me under the VWP and not my B2 visa). (see second picture)  My issue now is that my ESTA will expire at the start of March but I plan to stay in the US until mid April. Am I allowed to stay? Do I need to extend my ESTA or is my B2 visa enough? Can I depart on April 26th like my first stamp says, or do I have to depart before April 6th?  I hope this makes sense. Please help. Thank you.

I am a British resident and applying for Schengen visa to France. I am preparing my documents for application and as stated they require old passports and previous issued Schengen visa. However I realised I have lost my old expired passport which has my 3 previous (expired) Schengen Visas issued in the past 3 years.   Can I still apply in this case? Will I get rejected?

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?

I just finished applying for my visa and had originally planned to travel on the 30th of September, so I put that as my intended date of travel. But now I will not be leaving until close to the second week of October.  How does this work, will I still be able to travel with this visa even though it says I intended to arrive on September 30th?

I applied for a Schengen visa 2 years ago and got it, but the visa was revoked because I tried to travel to another Schengen country, which I wasn't allowed to due to the limitations on my Schengen visa.  I was giving some days to vacate the country, which I did. I wasn't deported – it's a voluntary departure – but the earlier visa given was canceled.   Since my earlier circumstance has changed, can I re-apply for a new Schengen visa and this time?  Or am I going to be refused because of my earlier visa revocation, which I still have on my passport?  I am only visiting the country that is going to issue the Schengen visa. The earlier visa was issued by the Latvian embassy; now I intend to travel to Estonia as a tourist again.

I have a valid F1 visa and I want to travel to the US for 2 weeks. My intent is not to study but to visit my best friend who recently lost her boyfriend and to attend his funeral. I read that it takes up to 72 hours to get the application for an ESTA accepted and I need to travel before the 72 hours. So my question is can I travel on the F1 visa that expires in a year (I graduated from the USA last summer) or do I need the ESTA? Do I apply for the ESTA even though it may not be approved in time? I am from the UK.

I was given a Schengen Visa by the Greek embassy in Cape Town, valid for one year, duration of stay 90 days. I went to Greece last Sept for 10 days.  It says valid for all Schengen States.  Can I use it again to go to France this year in July? Or do I have to apply for a new Schengen for France?  My visa expires on 14 Sept 2014.

I understand that there will be some issues.   I have got a single entery Italian Schengen Visa valid early April for 2 weeks. But because of the coronavirus, Italy is under lockdown, which means that I am unable to make my trip as planned.  Now if I changed my planned destination and to visit Greece (by flight via Paris) instead, can I enter France with my already issued Italian Schengen Visa?  I can provide my new air ticket and hotel reservations, but I won't go to Italy at all. What other options I can choose if I need to make the trip on the same dates?
