Can I use my Schengen type C visa with remarks transit to visit my fiancée in Norway?
I'm a Filipino national and seafarer. I will be finishing my contract this January. I've been issued before a Schengen visa from The Netherlands but it's expired. Now I hold a Belgian visa. I already used this visa before I joined the ship in France.
My concern is that after my contract I'm planning to visit my fiancée in Norway. My company will book my ticket for me. Is it possible to use this visa to visit her? She's working there. I'm planning to stay there for a month before going home to the Philippines. I will depart from Malta going to Norway. Thank you.
Best Answer
Yes, it was possible. I'm already in Norway with my fiancee. My Schengen visa is valid for short stay in any Schengen country. I didn't encounter any border checks other than when I disembarked the ship from Malta.
