Do i still need to cancel my existing visa which is expiring before my flight?
I have an existing Schengen visa given by Netherlands and expires on April 27, 2019. I am applying again for a visa going to france, my flight schedule is on April 29-may 6 2019. Do I still need to process the cancellation of my existing visa where in fact it is expiring before my flight. Some said existing visa should be cancelled before you can apply for new visa.
Best Answer
There is no need to ask to have the old visa canceled in this situation.
What you've heard is probably a garbled version of the fact that Schengen consulates normally do not issue overlapping short-stay visas -- which in some retellings can become something like "one cannot have two visas in the same passport at the same time". However, this is not a rule that is actually observed.

Can I travel with my visa almost expired?
A visa must be valid at the time a traveler seeks admission to the United States, but the expiration date of the visa (validity period/length of time the visa can be used) has no relation to the length of time a temporary visitor may be authorized by the Department of Homeland Security to remain in the United States.Can I renew my visa before it expires or do I have to wait until after its expiration date?
You do not have to wait until your current visa expires. You can apply for a new visa even if your current visa is valid.How close to visa expiry can you travel?
As long as you have a valid multiple entry visa to the USA, you may travel to the USA any time before the expiration date. That's why there's an expiration date. Utterly separately, some countries require you to have a passport with at least 90 days validity on the day you leave that country.What to do if my visa is expired?
A visa is only an entry document and can expire while you are in the U.S. There is no issue if your visa expires while you are legally present in the U.S. As long as your status is still valid and you continue to follow all immigration regulations, you can continue to remain in the U.S. even if your visa has expired.What is a Visa Overstay?
