Can you receive a Schengen visa in your new passport, based on a previously issued visa that is still valid?
My old passport with a valid Schengen visa was damaged, I then applied for a new passport.
That Schengen visa was issued by the Spanish embassy. Now I plan to visit Italy, which doesn't like people traveling with two passports according to some rumors I've heard. My question is: can I apply to the Italian embassy to get a new Schengen visa based on the previous one issued by Spain?
Best Answer
According to VFS Global (a partner company of many Schengen consulates worldwide):
I have a valid Schengen visa but my Indian passport has expired. Can I transfer this visa to my new passport?
No. If you are holding a valid Schengen visa in an expired Indian passport, you may carry both your expired and new Indian passports together and travel between India and the Schengen countries until the visa expires. You do not need to obtain a new visa.
So the answer is: no, you cannot do it.
