If I have a valid short term Schengen visa and the planned trip is delayed beyond visa validity date, does it have an impact on passport or visa issuance later?
1 Answer
No. You do not have any legal obligation to use your visa.
You may and likely will be asked why you haven't used previously issued your visa earlier. Simply provide a visa officer with explanations. As long as it is legit, there are no reasons to be stressed about.
