Best Answer

You must apply at the consulate for the main destination of your trip. If there are no special factors, that would be the place where you stay longest. Are you doing anything in Germany that could be convincingly argued as the main purpose of the trip?

If not, applying for a German visa would mean that the German consulate will turn your application down because they're not responsible for your trip.

Can I get multiple entry Schengen Visa?

Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.

Can I change my travel date after getting Schengen Visa?

You cannot change your itinerary so completely that the information you gave in the visa application is no longer true. If you planned a trip lasting 10 days, and you now have 15 days "duration of stay", you can extend your trip by up to 5 days (including a visit to another country if you want).

What are the first port of entry rules for Schengen Visa?

Your first country of entry is the country in which you enter the Schengen Area for the first time from the outside. It does not need to be the country that issued you with a Schengen Visa, as you must apply with the nation where you are planning to spend the majority of your stay in the Schengen Area.

Can I enter Germany before my visa starts?

You are free to apply 90 days before the date of your travel for a German visa. It is recommended that you apply 3-6 weeks in advance before you travel to avoid any visa processing delay issues interfere with your travel itinerary.
