I am travelling to Europe from May 7th to 25th. Below is my itinerary:
- Italy: 7th to 14th May
- Czech Republic: 14th to 18th May
- Belgium : 18th to 21st May
- Netherlands : 21st to 25th May
I have applied for my visa from Italy, and already got it. The issue is the visa duration is from 5th May to 3rd June and the duration of stay is 15 days, which only covers my trip till Belgium, ie 7th to 21st May. It does not cover the remaining 4 days, and the Italian consulate said they cannot extend.
Can I apply for a visa from the Netherlands consulate? Since my duration of stay and validity will be over by the 21st of May? Or because the visa is from the 5th May to 3rd June, will it count as two active visas?
Since the Italian consulate cannot extend, should I apply for a new visa from the Netherlands consulate?
Also, I have taken a sabbatical from work. What kind of papers would I require for the Netherlands?
