Can I Ignore Member State of First Entry for Schengen Visa
I am going to Poland and I have my Schengen Visa taken from Poland embassy. But on my application, I wrote that member state of first entry will be Germany. But now I found a cheaper flight directly to Poland. Can I just go to Poland since it's my main destination point anyway or I should stick to what I wrote on my application form and enter Germany first?
