Confusion on Schengen visa [duplicate]

I got my tourist Italian Schengen visa (multiple entry) but in the last minute I am changing my first port of destination to Germany as we decided to go for a one day music festival in Düsseldorf.
Mostly I will be staying 5 to 6days in Germany and go to Italy afterwards. I will be staying in Italy for 13 to 14days.

Is it OK to do this and travel to Germany first instead of Italy with my tourist Italian Schengen visa?

Best Answer

You are fine as long as your main destination is Italy.

If the applicant is planning to visit two or more Schengen countries, it is highly recommended to be applying for the visa at the embassy/consulate of the country you will be residing in for most of the travelling days, referred to as the main destination.

Since you are staying for the majority of the time in Italy, your first port of entry need not necessarily have to be Italy and arriving in Germany is totally fine.

What if I made a mistake on my Schengen Visa application?

What if I make a mistake on my Schengen Visa form - can I correct it? If you made a mistake on your visa application form - you will need to fill out a new one before your appointment at the consulate or visa application center.

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.

Does the Schengen Visa reset?

These days don't need to be consecutive \u2014 the total is cumulative. Once day 181 hits, the count resets itself. For example, if I come to the Schengen Area in January and stay for 60 days and then come back in June for 10 days, that counts as 70 days in 180 days.

How do you check Schengen Visa is genuine or not?

The phrases \xabVALID FOR\xbb, \xabVALABLE POUR\xbb and \xabGULTIG FUR\xbb are set before the name of the countries your visa allows you to visit. If the words next to this are \xabETATS SCHENGEN\xbb or \xabSCHENGEN STATES\xbb, then it means that the visa is valid in all Schengen countries, and you can travel throughout the Schengen Area.
