How soon can I re-apply for another 90 days Schengen visa after using my 90 days granted Schengen visa? - Shallow Focus of a Woman Wearing Eyeglasses while Taking Picture of Herself Using a Mobile Phone

I have been using my 90 day Schengen visa to the Netherlands and am about to re-apply. My MVV (temporary residence permit) got rejected therefore I need to reschedule our wedding etc.

Can I apply 180 days after my first entry date?


Edit (not from OP) to transfer details from a Comment:

I entered NL on June, 30th 2016, exit Sept 27th, 2016. Then got my rejection of my MVV on Dec 9th 2016. I was thinking to go again in Jan 10, 2017. The reason of the refusal was because my partner is a freelancer, tho his earning for 2 months covers 1 year salary that is required.



Best Answer

You say in a comment that you entered the Schengen area on June 30th and stayed there for 90 consecutive days.

The earliest date you will be allowed to enter again based on a short-stay visa will be after you have been out for 90 days, which is, on December 27.

You're not saying whether your visa has expired or not. This is relevant information, because if the validity period of your visa is 6 months or more, then even though its "duration of stay" field says 90 days, that means "90 days in any 180 days", and you can use the same visa for a subsequent entry -- the days on a long-duration (but short stay) visa do not "run out".

If you need a new visa, then you can apply for it up to 3 months before your intended date of travel.

However, even though you can apply for a new visa, the outlook is not terribly good: As Relaxed notes, having applied for (but been denied) a residence permit will probably harm your chances of being granted a new short-stay visa, since it casts doubt on your motivation to leave the area after your trip.

How many times can I apply for a Schengen visa in a year?

The 1-year MEV visa gives you the right to enter in the Schengen Zone as many times as you want, as long as you do not remain more than 90 days within this period.

When can I come back to Schengen?

Under the terms of Schengen, non-EEA nationals cannot spend more than a total of 90 days within a total period of 180 days without a visa. Furthermore, once you've used up your quota of 90 days, you cannot return to Schengen until 90 more days have passed.

Can I apply for Schengen visa twice?

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 do I extend my 90 day Schengen visa?

Generally speaking, you cannot extend a Schengen Visa during your trip, apart from in exceptional circumstances. If you want to extend your trip you will have to exit the Schengen Area and apply for a new visa to return and continue your visit.

Answer 2

Since you were refused for a resident permit, your best course of action would be to apply for a visa in another Schengen Zone country, but you will still be subject to the 90/180 rule. So, you could apply whenever, but not have a start date earlier than 90 days after your previous visa expired.

TL;DR - you must leave Schengen Zone for at least 90 days before re-entering. The only exceptions could be medical emergency.
