And, because Schengen doesn't actually classify visas as business or pleasure, it's also allowed for someone to plan a tourist trip and then later schedule a business meeting during that trip. You are right that this "could be an issue," because it might appear that the original application was disingenuous, but if the traveler can show that subsequent meeting arose independently then it should be allowed. | |

| Mar 16, 2017 at 15:03 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | @phoog You are completely right. What I said only applies to single-entry visas. | |
| Mar 16, 2017 at 14:47 | comment | added | phoog | @Tor-EinarJarnbjo That's misleading. For example, a multiple-entry business visa issued for frequent visits to a company in one place may be used for a beach vacation to another place. Perhaps a better way to say it would be "as long as no immigration officer thinks that you are using your visa fraudulently or committed fraud in your application." | |

This is correct as long as the valid for: doesn't name only Germany (extremely rare but question does not clarify this)
