Schengen Visa Valid on arrival in Schengen State and not while boarding flight [duplicate]

I am resident of Dubai and would be travelling to Poland on 21st May at around 22:30 ,my flight lands in Poland on 22nd at around 2:30 AM which is when my schengen visa becomes valid . I am very uncertain whether I would be allowed to board the flight?

If the answer is no then what would be your suggestion to get this sorted , contacting Embassy ?

Best Answer

It is up to the airline to let you board the flight, just call them and ask what their policy is, personally I have been both rejected once when going to China and allowed once when going to Australia in the same situation and it has nothing to do with Schengen and all to do whether the airline requires your visa to be valid at the time of boarding or at the time of landing at your destination.

If they answer from the airline is no you need contacting the issuer of the visa and see if you can get a new one with the correct date for departure or change your flight one day later

Can I change my flight after getting Schengen visa?

You cannot change your itinerary so completely that the information you gave in the visa application is no longer true. If you planned a trip lasting 10 days, and you now have 15 days "duration of stay", you can extend your trip by up to 5 days (including a visit to another country if you want).

Can I enter and or exit the Schengen Area via a country other than the one for which I have a visa?

As a general rule, you may cross any Schengen border with visa issued by any Schengen country. However, you should try and stick to your itinerary as filed when applying for your Schengen Visa.

Can I leaving Schengen Area and returning?

Once you leave, you cannot return to Spain (or Schengen) without a visa until a further 90 days have gone by. For example, if you have spent 90 days in total in Spain and leave on June 29th, you cannot go back without a visa until at least September 28th.

Do I have to visit the country that issued my Schengen visa?

No. Long stay visa or residence permit issued by a Schengen Agreement State allows you to travel or stay in other countries of Schengen area during the maximum period of \u201cshort stay visit\u201d (staying not more than 90 days within a period of 180 days).
