Two Schengen visas with a one-day gap
I have a multiple-entry type C Schengen visa that expires on 30/04 and have another type C multiple-entry that starts on 2/05. So there is a one-day between the visas. I am planning to travel to Spain on 22/04 and exit on 10/05. Is this okay taking in to consideration the 1-day gap between the two visas?
Best Answer
Technically, you need yet another Schengen C visa, single entry, for May 1st, or you need to leave on the 30th and return on the 2nd.
Failure to comply with the rules will be quite obvious for anyone who does the math. Henrik is right that nobody might bother to check the numbers, but if they check it, they will find that you have overstayed. That's a very bad thing to have in your file.

Can I have 2 Schengen visas at the same time?
In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do? In this case, it is possible to file a visa application for another Schengen visa to cover the next intended stay entirely.Can you transit through 2 Schengen countries?
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).How long do you have to leave the Schengen zone before returning?
Under the terms of Schengen, non-EEA nationals cannot spend more than a total of 90 days within a total period of 180 days without a visa. Furthermore, once you've used up your quota of 90 days, you cannot return to Schengen until 90 more days have passed.Can I have two visas at the same time for different countries?
Yes you can. No 2 countries share data with each other. Neither are they bothered about you applying visa at the same time. You can apply visa to N number of countries at the same time.Schengen Visa in One day After Refusal | FEB 2022

Answer 2
As I understand it: No. You're only allowed to be inside the Schengen area when you have a valid visa.
And when entering the immigration officer might request that you show intent of leaving within the validity period of your visa, so it might give you a practical problem too.
If you have a reasonable travel history and not a history of staying the maimum the 90/180-rule allows, I would probably allow it, but I'm neither a lawyer nor an immigration officer, so it really doesn't matter what I think.
