My Schengen visa will expire soon - how soon is a new one required?
I'm planning to visit the Netherlands on June 17 for 1 week and the expiration date of my visa is July 3. Is it ok or do I need to apply for a new one ?
Best Answer
Your Schengen visa has a validity period, a duration of stay, and a number of entries. You can use it during the entire validity period if you have duration and entries left.
