Processing a visa application with a past expected travel date
As a non-EU national, if I apply for a visa on the 15th and state that the expected date of travel is on, say 20th, but once the visa is started processing, that date has already passed, would that affect the visa result?
Best Answer
We've seen numerous examples over the years of people who have applied for Schengen visas with itineraries that were in the past at the time the application was processed. The usual response is that the visa is refused with the reason Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided.
If you feel like wasting 60 euros, and possibly having an adverse immigration history, this is probably a good way to do it.
