Official info from German Embassy is that they look for where the topic of your journey is, not where u cross the border... i don't think that u have to anull previous visa....

Two of us have US passports but my wife and her mother have Russian. They have previously received Shengen visas (one year) three years ago from Italy. The French website says that we should get previous Shengen visas annulled at the prior consulate(s) - there's also a German Shengen visa in my wife's passport. I am unclear if because we got the visas from the Italian consulate before if we are to apply there again, or if we should get from French consulate (since that is where we will go now. Can anyone clarify this situation. Thanks in advance for advice. Charles CH: Usually you should get the visa from the consulate of the Schengen country you are travelling to. What counts is, where she enters the Schengen area, but also where she will spend most of her time within the Schengen area. Depending on that consulates can send your wife to another consulate. Its probably best to call the French embassy upfront. Usually you need to make an appointment before and be aware that during the holiday season they only give you an appointment 6 to 8 weeks after you called. Its varying from consulate to consulate, based on their workload. This is just info from my own experience. I'm not a visa expert. _______________________________________________ Expat mailing list [email protected] http://www.lists.ru/mailman/listinfo/expat http://www.expat.ru/forum/
