Sep 9, 2018 at 12:31 | comment | added | Relaxed | @AlexanderPozdneev There is no provision for this anywhere in the Schengen visa code. It's legally baseless and possibly questionable. For visa to have a purpose that's enforced across the area, you would need the visa code to be formulated differently. | |

May 9, 2014 at 8:38 | comment | added | Relaxed | @user13581 Not sure what they can do but they definitely can't give you another visa if you already have a valid one and they wouldn't revoke the existing one either (Norway should do it I think). With a holiday package booked and all the documentation I think Greek border guards will have no problem letting you in, they are concerned about people with incoherent stories that might try to immigrate illegally but they very much welcome tourism. | |

May 9, 2014 at 8:28 | comment | added | user13581 | Thanks :) What will happen if I decide to play goody two shoes and go to Greek Embassy? Will they give me another "tourist" schengen, valid for a time of the holiday? Cancel excisting multiple-entry one? Put some kind of a note on it, saying that I intend to go to Greece? Holiday package is booked for the second week in June, and the chances of business trip to Norway prior to this are slim to none. | |
