I have a Schengen visa from the Netherlands Embassy, but I want to visit Paris first before I move to the Netherlands; Is it allowed?

Best Answer

When you have a Schengen visa for all "Schengen states" (or the translation of that term) you can in principle visit any Schengen country. You submitted an itinerary when you applied for the visa.

If it looks as if you lied to get the visa, your entry may be refused.
If it looks as if you are making a minor adjustment to your trip, there is no problem.

So if you are still going to the Netherlands, and if you spend more time there than in France, and if you have the documents for onward travel when you land in France, there will be no problem.

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. The conditions for granting an extension of a Schengen Visa are very strict and your reason for applying must be serious and unforeseeable.
