Schengen expiry

Schengen expiry - Helmet

I have a valid multi trip Schengen VISA which is getting expired the very next day I’d be exiting from schengen area (Czech Republic - Prague).

I’d be entering through France (from India) exactly 10 days before the expiry date and after visiting France, Croatia and Czech Republic, will leave Schengen area on the 9th day (Prague - a day before VISA expires)

Will there be any issues doing so?



Best Answer

If your flight is somehow cancelled and you are unable to leave before your visa expires there could be an issue, but you have left a whole day as a buffer. If there are delays/cancellations, you likely will still be able to get a flight out the same or next day. As long as you do not overstay, you're fine
