Tourist Schengen visa dates do not match itinerary - Black and white side view of people in warm clothes with flag walking along river embankment against modern bridge

I have applied my Schengen visa from Spanish embassy from 31st May to 10th June. My itinerary is mentioned as follows :

  1. 31st May to 02 Jun - Budapest, Hungary
  2. 2nd Jun to 6th Jun - Spain
  3. 7th Jun to 10th Jun - Greece

I have submitted every flight tickets and accommodation from 31st may onwards. Today, I have got the tourist visa from 02nd Jun to 01 July. My questions are :-

  1. My port of entry is Hungary and that too on 31st May. Can I somehow extend my existing visa start date from 02nd Jun to 31st may?
  2. If not, ideally what shall I do in this case?


Best Answer

Since Michael Hampton didn't turn his correct comment into an answer, let me: Contact the consulate immediately. Do not delay even a minute. You should have received a paper with your passport, explaining that you received the visa, and telling who to contact if you find an error.
