Can I have an overlapping Schengen (Visa C) and a Swiss Visa 'D'?
score:4
Accepted answer
If everybody is careful, a C visa could be granted until the day before your D visa starts. At midnight, you stop staying on the C visa and start staying on the D visa.
- A D visa can be used to travel in the Schengen area like a C visa. The 90/180-day rule will apply for any combination of visa, except for days in the nation that issued the D.
- If there is an overlap, no harm done.
- Making your D application more complex by tacking on tourism could increase the likelihood that it will be denied.
- Getting a C visa may be easier if you already have a D visa for a later date.

Just thought I'd follow up with an update as an answer.
So I finally have settled all the visa stuff. There is an overlap for my case.
I applied for a Schengen 'C' Visa double entry for an 8 days trip - and was given a multiple entry, 6 month validity visa. I asked the consular officers at the embassy if the overlap was an issue & they said it's not seeing that they are 2 different visa types (though the 'D' Visa has been given parity of movement in Schengen).
Anyway yep hope it helps others who might have the same query!
