I am going to Italy, do I need to book ALL my flights to the other schengen states in order to be granted the schengen visa? Or can I just book my flight to italy? In other words, I want to go to Spain and Amsterdam as well, but I don't want to book those flights until I'm sure I have the visa (can't get refunds)
so will the italian consulate grant me a schengen visa to ALL shengen states even if I've only booked flights and hotels in Italy?
Thanks

Hi,

Welcome to the forum. The common practice is that when you get the Schengen visa, it is for "Etats Schengen" which means for the whole Schengen zone. (It depends on your nationality and the place where you apply. What is your nationality and in which country do you apply?) In general you should be ok with just tickets for Italy, but the more documentation proving that you won't immigrate you can provide, the better.

Cheers.

Thanks,
I'm on a south african passport so it's quite limiting. I am living in the UK now (on a working holiday visa) so I applied through the Italian consulate here in London.
As it takes so long to get an appointment (4-6 weeks) I obviously don't want to be unprepared or go without all the necessary documentation as I'm afraid I'll get denied.
Where can I double check this info- the italian website doesnt seem to cover it...
Thanks again  Smiley

Hi,

Try this site, it covers a lot about Schengen visa.

Here is a list of embassies in London with their phone numbers: london embassy. There is a phone number for the Italian embassy too. Your best bet would be to call them and ask the officials.

Let us know how it went, ok?

What did you say on your application? Did you mention on your application that you want to travel to Italy only, or did you say you want to travel to the other states too?

it does not matter which country you enter first. the important point is that the country which issued your visa should be your main destination (in terms of lenght of stay).

Hi,
I will be flying from New York to Delhi with a 23hr stay in Amsterdam in between. I want to visit the city during that time, for which I will be applying for a Schengen visa .

I would like to know if it is possible for me to get a multiple entry visa now so that I can visit Schengen countries in next 6 months-1year or will I have to reapply for visa each time I visit? I don't have specific dates when I will revisit but it should tentatively be in the next months or so.  Currently I only have confirmed tickets from New York -> Amsterdam -> Delhi and a one-night stay in a hotel in Amsterdam. 

I am an Indian national going to India to get my H-1 visa stamped.

Please advise. Thanks,

When you fill out the schengen visa application, check the box that says that you apply for multiple entry visa. If you are lucky, the embassy will give you multiple entry schengen visa. If you plan on visiting Amsterdam in 6 months, you are ok, you should get the visa by then.

24. Number of entries requested
Multiple entries

Beware, I think there is one catch. I do not think you can apply for visa in New York. I think you need to apply in your home country. The same concept like with H1, you can't get that in NY either.

Sure, the visa is single entry, and it means that it allows you to enter once the Schengen zone. You can go to any country within the Schengen zone once you are in.
