Can I go through a flight from Delhi to Berlin via Helsinki if I have mentioned Germany as the "member state of first entry"? [duplicate]

In my Schengen VISA application, I have mentioned Germany as "member state of first entry" and provided the itinerary of a Lufthansa flight which goes from Delhi to Berlin via Frankfurt, but due to the cost factor, I want to book Finnair now which transits through Helsinki. My understanding is that since I am entering the Schengen area in Helsinki I will have to go through immigration there.

Will it create a problem because I have mentioned Germany as "member state of first entry" or will it be fine?

Can the immigration officer look at my VISA application?

Best Answer

This is not a problem. You said you were going to Germany and you are still going to Germany. You just booked a cheaper ticket. If the immigration officer asks about it, you can just show them your onward ticket to Berlin.
