Entering Schengen area twice within 90 days
I'm thinking about making two separate one-week trips into the Schengen area, the first to Germany and the second to France. The whole duration of both trips together lie within 90 days. I'm afraid that if I wait until after the first trip to apply for the visa for the second trip, it won't be in time. Can I apply to the German embassy for a double-entry visa, or what should I do?
