Can I enter Germany as my first entry point with French Multi entry Schengen visa [duplicate]

Can I enter Germany as my first entry point with French Multi entry Schengen visa [duplicate] - Signboard showing direction of underground station

I got my Multi Entry Schengen visa(Type C) on french embassy using the itinerary which covers french cities only but I have dropped the itinerary for some personal reasons.

  • Can I enter Germany as my first entry point now ?

  • Are there any stamping issues associated with that during the Immigration check in on Airport?

  • Based on my current itinerary I'm spending more time on Germany and Austria than France , again would it become a problem ?

  • Will there be any problem when I apply schengen visa through french embassy in future ?

Looking for some guidance on this although I presume none of this should be a problem since I have already got visa with me and I'm free to use till it's validity.

I just want to make sure I'm not breaking any law here as well.

Can I enter Germany with a French Schengen Visa?

Can I travel to Germany with it? Yes, holders of a Schengen visa can stay for up to 90 days per period of 180 days in the entire Schengen area (see question 2) and thus also in Germany, provided this is covered by the permitted period of use of the visa.

Should my first trip be to the country which issued my Schengen Visa?

There is no general requirement that you must enter the Schengen Area through the country that issued your visa. Your main destination may be different than your first destination. To prevent complications, stick to your itinerary as best you can.

Can I travel to other Schengen countries with multiple entry visa?

Schengen visas allow to make one-entry, two-entries or multi-entries. With one-entry visa you can travel the Schengen area only once. It is indicated in your visa as \u201c01\u201d. With two-entries or multi-entries you can respectively travel to the Schengen area twice or several times during the visa validity period.

Can I have 2 Schengen visas at the same time?

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.
