Can a Hungarian work permit holder apply to Finland for a Schengen business visa?
I have a Hungarian work permit (with 1 year validity) but haven't traveled yet to Hungary. I have to wait 3 more months to go to Hungary due to delays in the work agreement with the client.
Now I have another opportunity to travel to Finland for a shorter period (20 days) and applied for a Schengen visa at the VFS center.
Can Finland cancel my Hungarian work permit in order to grant the Schengen business visa, or will I keep the work permit? What is the procedure in such cases?
Best Answer
With a valid Hungarian D visa you can enter Finland directly.
As stated in Timatic, the database used by airlines, regarding Finland:
Visa required, except for passengers with a valid D visa issued by another Schengen Member State for a maximum stay of 90 days.
