[On H1B] , living in US We are planning to travel to Italy in April/May. Looks like visa appts for Schengen visa at LA/SF are unavailable. Can i make refundable reservations for another schengen country, get the schengen visa , cancel all those tickets and travel to Italy on that schengen visa ?
No. The entry has to be from the Schengen country which gave you the visa. But then once you enter you’re free to go to any other Schengen country.
That’s what i am trying to understand
has the rule changed because last time I had a schengen visa for Switzerland but I entered through Italy (Milan) without any issue whatsoever
You're screwed. Just because you want to do something doesn't mean it's possible. It's time to plan travel to a different location.
Yes.
I am confused with different responses here 😑😑
Just yell death to infidels and EU lefties immediately will grant you visa and give you money + a place to leave.
Yes
