To which Schengen country should I apply for a visa?
I'm an Indian student. I'll be visiting Germany for a conference from 1-4 July as well as the Netherlands (30th June). To which country should I apply for a visa? A university in the Netherlands is providing roundtrip airfare and I have accommodation and food covered by the universities in both Germany and the Netherlands.
I was thinking of applying for a German visa so that I can get it faster, in comparison to the Netherlands. This is the first time I'm travelling outside I of India, and have no idea about how long it takes for the visa process. I have a valid B1 US visa to visit there at end of July.
Netherland's University is providing me roundtrip travel fare and I have accommodation, food covered by the respective universities.
Do I even have to mention the Netherlands visit when applying for a German visa?
