Can I apply for a student Schengen visa while holding a tourist visa?

score:2

Accepted answer

I heard one can't have more than one schengen visa at a time.

That is correct, you cannot get 2 Schengen Visas (Type C) for an overlaping period.

If the Student Visa is based on Β§16b - Further education [full-time studies] - Residence Act, then it is a National Visa (Type D, longer than 90 days), to cover the period for your studies.

If you apply for a Schengen Visa (Type C, up to 90 days), giving studies (to take the entry exam) as the reason, it it will not be in conflict with the national visa.
