How much time will it take to get my passport back if I am applying for multiple Schengen visa countries?
I am an Indian. I am doing my research in the USA(Saint Louis). I will be going back to India and then will be going to Europe for an academic conference( Spain 20th to 25th of May, then Hungary 25th May to 2nd June and then Italy from 3rd June to 7th of June) from India this summer. I am completely blind after calling the Spain consulate here in Saint Louis. My concern is for the European short term visa So, I have applied in Hungary consulate as I am spending more time in Hungary
How much time will it take to get my passport back if I am applying for multiple Schengen visa countries? As my visa date is 23rd April and I am going back to India on the 14th of May. So I need my passport back before that. Any help or idea!!
Best Answer
The number of countries within Schengen that you're visiting is not really relevant.
Your application will be assessed by the processing country's consulate (Hungary) based on whether you have a legitimate reason to visit, sufficient funding to cover your expenses, a reason to return home etc. They will not be involving the other countries on your itinerary, since the Schengen system basically trusts Hungary to do the due diligence on behalf of Spain and Italy as well.

Schengen visas may allow for a single-entry or multiple entries. With a single-entry visa you can enter the Schengen area only once. This is indicated on the visa sticker by "01". With a visa allowing for two or multiple entries you may enter twice or several times during the validity of the visa.How long does it take for a Schengen Visa to be approved?

How much does the multiple-entry Schengen Visa cost? The fee for a multiple-entry visa is the same as an ordinary short-stay one (\u20ac80 or $90), even though it allows you to take multiple trips lasting fewer than 90 days for as long as the visa is valid (usually one, three, or five years).How Long Does the Schengen VISA Processing Time Take (Europe VISA)?
