I had applied with Swiss embassy in New Delhi India through VFS for Visitor visa as I have to meet my brother and his family who lives in Geneva, Switzerland. I had applied for myself, wife and 3 year old son.
Travel dates 30/11/2017 to 01/02/2018.
My visa rejected first time saying 1.insufficient means of subsistence 2.no justification provided and 3. intention to leave member state can not be ascertained. (duration of stay was 79 days -15/11/17 to 01/02/18)
I applied second time (64 days duration-changed flights dates) and given bank statement with more than enough funds in bank statement for cause 1.
For cause 2, I gave return flight ticket to and fro India 30nov17 to 01Feb2018, train ticket to and fro Paris from Geneva 06to09Dec17 and return flight from geneva to munich germany 12/01/2018 to 13/01/2018.
I submitted hotel bookings for 4 days in Paris (09-12Dec17), 1 day in Interlaken (18Dec-19Dec2017), 2 days in Bern (22Dec-24Dec2017) and 1 day in Munich (12Jan2018-13Jan2018) as proof of intra-schengen travel. I gave them complete itinerary of my entire stay in Switzerland as I wanted to stay with my brother most of the time. (all bookings confirmed with confirmation emails from respective hotels).
Still they denied visa. What to do now?
Can I apply for 15 days tourist visa (at different consulate/embassy) and stay with my brother for 64 days?
Please suggest.
Warm Regards Sumith G.

I wonder if there are translation problems with your question.
- If you would get a 15-day visa, you could stay only 15 days (first and last days count full). Staying even one day longer would be a violation of your visa. You might have to pay a fine when you leave. And any future application will be more difficult as well.
- You must apply for a visa at the embassy for main destination of your trip. If you lie in your application, your entry may be refused if they find out.
- A declaration that you will return is not enough to convince the visa officials that you plan to return. The aged parents may be a better explanation, but I don't know if that will be enough.
