Use of Schengen Visa .. second entry

[vrd]

Hi

I visited France this year on short stay circulation mult entry business visa. My visa is still valid and now wish to go to Norway for another short stay. Can I use my visa which is issued by France embassy? If yes, is it mandatory to fly via Paris? I have already had a trip to France so can I directly fly to Oslo on the same visa?

if I'm not mistaken ...

... the Schengen visa is a single entry visa. If you have not used all the days of its validity it does not matter. The visa allows you to enter any of the Schengen countries one time only.

For a second visit, you need another visa. You may surely get one from the French consulate and fly to another Schengen country, it does work that way as plans change.

Good luck.

Thanks for quick reply ... actually visa stamp says it is multiple entry visa .. are you sure it is always single entry ?

In most cases yes ...

... but if your visa is indeed multiple entry, you're good. You can fly to any of the Schengen countries.

Take care.
