Can I enter country on Schengen visa before National visa start date?
score:2
Accepted answer
Technically yes, I received this answer from the Austrian BMI (Bundesministerium für Inneres) regarding visa-free to visa D transition which should also be applicable to those holding C visas: "If the visa-free stay is short or the travel purpose for the visa-free stay is different from the one for the visa D stay (eg first tourism, then study/employment), the entry would be lawful. Whereby a visa-free entry (observing the rule: 90 days per period of 180 days) and the subsequent stay with a visa D is seamlessly possible."*
