Going spain through zurich

[SINGH86]

Hello Guys,

Need some expert advise. I'm travelling to Spain via Zurich but after getting my Visa I decided to spend 3 days in Italy to visit my cousins before heading to Spain. Now question is, when I applied Visa I applied under Spainish consulate. Can I still visit another schengen country before entering to Spain ?

Yes, with a Schengen visa you can enter via any member state, travel through any member state and exit through any member state aslong as your main destination (where you will spent the most ) is the country you applied for or if there is no clear main destination then the country of your first intended stay.

You may have may asked to show the border guards that you still meet all the visa requirements, but you should be alright since moving in in a few days from Spain to Switzerland is very much possible and plausible.
