Does a single-entry visa allow you to do a long transit in Schengen countries then leave to the country that issued the visa?
If I have a single entry visa to France can I plan my trip as follows: I will do a transit for 23 hrs in Greece, then continue my trip the second day to Nice, Cannes, Paris, then to Amsterdam, leave from airport to have another transit for one night in Rome then back home?!
Best Answer
Yes. "Single entry" means you can enter the Schengen area once, as Greece, France, The Netherlands and Italy are all parts of Schengen your itinerary would only mean one entry into Schengen.
You'll go through immigration in Greece, where you'll show your visa - be prepared to document that France is the main destination of your trip, so that your visa is obtained rightfully - and then you'll travel within Schengen, for those trips you'll probably not have to show neither visa nor passport.
