Is a double Schengen visa application necessary?

If I have an application pending with the German embassy, for a residence permit. Can I apply for another Schengen tourist visa (Spain), since the residence application takes a long time?

I'd like to know if I can go ahead and do a second application since the first one will take a long time and I also need the tourist visa to go to another country.

Best Answer

you might be able to. I had a similar situation where my long stay visa D for Switzerland was being processed and I applied for a C Visa for tourism purposes at another embassy. I was given both and the visa officer told me the overlap in dates are fine as they are two separate visas.

Can I apply for two Schengen Visa at the same time?

In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.
