Can I enter Romania visa-free if I hold an unused multiple-entry Schengen visa? [duplicate]

I have a plan to attend academic conference in Romania and then take a short stay in Austria. Unfortunately, the Embassy of Romania in Thailand is temporarily closed and I have to go to Philippines for visa issuing instead. They also give me a link as the following

"Holders of Schengen valid visas with multiple entries may enter Romania and stay until the date of the validity of the Schengen visa. Further information available at: http://bangkok.mae.ro/en/node/871"

If I apply for multiple entry Schengen visa for Austria, but I will enter Romania first and go for Austria later. Would it be possible in this case? I have written email to ask Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Romania, but did not get any response for a while.

Best Answer

We stayed in Romania for 6 days as stated in Schengen because we entered Romania first. However, if a duration of Schengen stay is 6 days and you enter schengen country first for 4 days, a number of day staying in Romania will be left for 2 days only.

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.

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.
