How soon can I reapply for another Schengen visa after using a granted visa to the Netherlands?
I am going to apply for a multiple-entry visa to Netherlands this coming May. If I will be given only a single entry how soon can I apply again for another Schengen visa because I am planning to go to Paris in July too?
Best Answer
You can't have multiple unused Schengen visas at the same time, but you can apply immediately after returning from your Netherlands trip.
Alternatively, if you can present solid documentation for both the Netherlands and Paris trips, you can try for a multiple-entry visa. These are usually not granted if it's your first visit to Schengen though.

Hence, you can only reapply in most cases six months after the refusal of your visa application.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.Can I apply for another Schengen Visa before it expires?
A visa can be extended if you have stayed less than 90 days in the Schengen Area over the last 180-day period and if you have not exceeded the validity period of your visa.

Answer 2
You could apply immediately after coming back and go back to the Schengen area as soon as you get the visa, there is really no restriction on that. If there is enough time, you could also probably apply before your second trip (consulates usually avoid issuing overlapping Schengen visas but as long as your first visa expires before July, there is nothing stopping another consulate to issue another visa for the second trip, even if you haven't used the first one yet).
But whatever you do, whether you get several visas in short succession or a long validity multiple-entry visa, you cannot stay more than 90 days during any 180-day period on short-stay visas. So if your first stay is too long, you will not be able to get a new visa, making other restrictions unnecessary.
