Schengen visa applying in France but entering into Italy? [duplicate]

Initial Itinerary: (Entry) Italy (3 days) -> Switzerland (3 days) -> France (6 days) -> Netherlands (3 days) (Exit)

With the initial plan, I have to apply for Schengen visa in the French consulate. Now, after I get the visa, what if I need to change the itinerary to the following

Updated Itinerary: (Entry) Italy (5 days) -> Switzerland (3 days) -> France (2 days) -> Netherlands(3 days) (Exit)

In this case. What will the immigration officer ask when I enter Italy with a Schengen visa issued in France? Notice that I just change the number of days I stay in each country. Will this be a problem?

EDIT: For clarification.

The simpler question in my mind is, what if you like a place a lot, and intend to stay there longer, and vice versa, what if you don't like a place and want to move on to the next destination. This will result in change in the number of days declared per country during visa application.

Best Answer

In principle the change of itinerary might give rise to a suspicion that you never intended for France to be your main destination but just claimed so because it was somehow more convenient for you to submit your application to the French consulate. If that is the case your visa may be annulled.

In practice it doesn't appear to be very likely that the border guards at entry will demand so detailed documentation that they'll discover the change of itinerary. But it could happen, and it's up to you whether to risk it or not.
