Title: Extension of Schengen Visa
Post by: toni on June 04, 2016, 06:15:42 pm
Hi! I am a Filipino national. How can I extend my 60 days stay here in Austria to another 60 days? My boyfriend is my sponsor, we still need to finish errands here before we move out to the Philippines for good. I wanted to stay legally here and I doesn´t want my future travel to get affected. So, please someone can give me advice what´s to do. It will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much.

You can apply for a permanent residence permit, or you can apply for a visa extension.

Visa extension can be requested in exceptional cases through a local branch of an Alien Police Inspectorate at least 30 days and at most three days before the visa expiry. The Schengen visa extension is defined by the:

CHAPTER V (Modification of an issued visa), Article 33 (Extension) of Regulation (EC) No 810/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council (Visa Code) as follows:

Quote
1.   The period of validity and/or the duration of stay of an issued visa shall be extended where the competent authority of a Member State considers that a visa holder has provided proof of force majeure or humanitarian reasons preventing him from leaving the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the period of validity of or the duration of stay authorised by the visa. Such an extension shall be granted free of charge.

2.   The period of validity and/or the duration of stay of an issued visa may be extended if the visa holder provides proof of serious personal reasons justifying the extension of the period of validity or the duration of stay. A fee of EUR 30 shall be charged for such an extension.

3.   Unless otherwise decided by the authority extending the visa, the territorial validity of the extended visa shall remain the same as that of the original visa.

4.   The authority competent to extend the visa shall be that of the Member State on whose territory the third-country national is present at the moment of applying for an extension.

5.   Member States shall notify to the Commission the authorities competent for extending visas.

6.   Extension of visas shall take the form of a visa sticker.

7.   Information on an extended visa shall be entered into the VIS in accordance with Article 14 of the VIS Regulation.
