Can I apply for work visa for one country and tourist visa for another at the same time?

Can I apply for work visa for one country and tourist visa for another at the same time? - Red and White Map Chart

Some background to my question:

  • I'm on a work visa in UK
  • My husband is on a different category of work visa in UK
  • I applied to switch my visa (within UK) to be his dependant and it takes another 6-7 weeks for a decision. BUT they scanned my passport and gave the original back to me and said I need not turn it in

My questions are:

  • Since I have my passport with me, can I apply for a tourist visa now- Schengen or Australian? (I will only travel after my visa switch is approved)
  • Will my tourist visa be invalidated after my residence status is changed?

Can you have a work visa and a tourist visa?

The answer is yes, you can, but should you? A change of status means a change in your intention. For example, when you obtain a visa and enter the USA, you would have expressed to the US government your intention of a brief visit. The change in such intention can be construed to be deliberate and preconceived.

In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.

Can I enter and or exit the Schengen area visa a country other than the one for which I have a visa?

According to the Schengen rules, the Schengen visa is generally valid for all the countries in the Schengen area. Please note, however, that you always have to apply at the consulate of the country which is your primary destination (see FAQ no 5).
