I got my Schengen Visa for Germany in Australia, and I’m planing to visit in February. Is it going to be a problem if I fly to Germany from a country other than Australia?   I’m planing to visit my home country (Iran) and fly to Germany from there.

I am currently in the process of applying for a Schengen Visa to Germany for the month of August. I live in Egypt while my parents live in Saudi Arabia. I finish my Exams at the end of June and was hoping to stay in Saudi Arabia for the month of July and then travel to Germany from there. Is it possible to travel from Saudi Arabia to Germany if I got my visa from Egypt?

I’m going to Germany for a semester exchange and I have a long-stay visa from Germany. Can I travel to the other Schengen states during this period with this visa or do I have to apply for a separate short stay Schengen visa?  My visa is German national visa type D. It is for a duration of 4 months, i.e., longer than 90 days. It says on the visa that the long stay visa is valid in Deutschland, which is different from my earlier visa, which I had when I visited Germany earlier; that one was a short stay visa and said it was valid in Schengen Staten.  Perhaps my current visa means that I can stay in Germany for a period of longer that 90 days can visit the other Schengen states if I don’t exceed the 90 day period.

I have requested for a French long term (Type D) student visa from a consulate in India. It's a national Type D visa and not a Schengen visa. My question is that can we still go to other Schengen countries on this visa? If not then can we get a Schengen visa from a consulate in France?

Can someone with a non-European nationality and a French 'carte de séjour' freely enter and travel (particularly by air) from France after the unfortunate events?  I have been checking the news, some of them said Schengen visas are banned but none say anything about carte de séjour holders. If I knew earlier I wouldn't have booked but it is too late now and I am worried I might be able to go out but not come in again. I am a student so it will be a real inconvenience if such thing happens.

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 am from Egypt and I'm planning a vacation to Spain and France. While filling the visa application, should I choose a single or a multiple entry visa?! If i got a single entry Schengen visa, I still can travel from Spain to France and then back to Spain as long as it is during the valid dates of my visa right?!

I'm planning to go to Germany on Sept 6-8, then Netherlands on Sept 8-11 and exit Switzerland on Sept 11-14.  My question is:  Which embassy do I need to apply for the Schengen visa? The number of days are the same for Netherlands and Switzerland, but I'm planning to apply in Netherlands since it will be my second point of entry.

I was in Germany last September, my visa said I had 14 days to stay in the Schengen area.  When I was leaving back for Egypt the passport control officer noticed that I was leaving on the 15th day. I didn't even realise that as I had written previously in my visa application that I was staying for 15 days and the embassy in Cairo had my complete airline ticket with specific dates.  Anyway the officer just filed a report on the incident but didn't stamp my passport with my exit date from the Schengen area.  Do any of you guys know if that would make it harder for me to be granted a visa in the future?

My Schengen tourist visa was rejected by the German Consulate, Chennai stating that my date of flying from Chennai to Berlin (02-Nov-13) is not the same as the starting date of leave approval from my office (06-Nov-13).  But my company has sanctioned me leave considering the fact that 02-Nov-13 to 5-Nov-13 are office holidays. I wouldn't blame the consulate because they wouldn't know that and they consider mismatching dates to be a discrepancy.  Now, what could I do? Shall I appeal for a reconsideration without paying the visa fee again? If yes, how do I do that? And also, what is the probability that they would reconsider again?  Or, shall I reapply fresh again with a correction in my leave letter from the office? I have sent a mail to the consulate but they haven't replied.

I just realized that I am in a tricky situation right now.   I'm traveling with an Indonesian passport. I'm flying from New York to Christchurch, New Zealand in a couple of days, with a connection in Sydney, Australia. Upon scrutinizing my ticket recently, I realized that said connection is 11 hours long, with two different flights (Delta and Virgin) although it was bought on the same ticket, and that I am likely to have to collect my luggages in Sydney and recheck my luggages to Christchurch (which means that I have to pass Australian immigration).  There is no way I can get the Australian transit visa in time. Can anyone provide any helpful suggestions to solve this problem when I get to Sydney? Or share any similar past experience with the Australian border agents?  Thank you so very much.

I am planning on traveling to Europe in two months. However, I could not find any appointments for Schengen C visa for the next two and a half months.  Is there any way around this? What's the probability of me getting this visa? It would be a shame if I have to call off my vacation because of visa appointments not being available, or if I have to change my itinerary to include a country where there is a visa slot.

I am a non-EU citizen and am a PhD student in the Czech Republic. When I had my visa of type&nbsp;D, it says valid for CZ not Schengen States.  That being stated, I can understand that I can only enter EU from the Czech Republic. However, will I be able to travel across Schengen States using my student visa? I know that there is no passport control while visiting an EU country, but if the police of that country requires an ID:   Is my student ID card OK? Or should I show my passport? Can the visa in the passport cause trouble like I visited the country illegally?

Let's say I have Schengen visa issued by Dutch embassy as business visa for business in Holland. Can I fly to Frankfurt and spend some time in Germany and then come to Holland?   I know I can travel to all Schengen countries with this visa, but I am not sure whether I can enter from different country.

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?

Is it generally possible to apply for a visa to another country from a country that is not my country of origin? As a concrete example to clarify, I have a German passport and I can travel without applying for a visa beforehand through France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia and Guinea-Bissau, but in order to enter Guinea, I need to apply for a visa. Is it possible to do this from Senegal (for example)? Also, which embassy will be responsible for that?
