Schengen Visa Single or multiple entry
I want to travel from Cochin to Birmingham and later from Birmingham to Italy to Austria to Ireland and back to Birmingham in 10 days. I will be back to Cochin within a month. I have already received UK Visa.
I am applying for Schengen visa from India as per my itinerary as mentioned above. Should I need a single entry visa ?
Best Answer
A single-entry visa will suffice, if I understand your itinerary correctly. You will enter the Schengen area once, when you travel from Birmingham to Italy. You will then travel from Italy to Austria, remaining in the Schengen area. You will then travel to Ireland, leaving the Schengen area.
Because the remainder of your trip is entirely outside the Schengen area, the single-entry visa is enough.

Answer 2
Yes, you only need a single-entry Schengen visa to enter Italy from Birmingham. Travel between Italy and Austria is considered intra Schengen and does not require a Schengen visa.
