Schengen Visa Extension (Switzerland)

Upvote:4

Is the best option to try for an extension before I fly out of India (in 5 days from today) or once I reach the Schengen states?

It is generally not possible to extend a Schengen visa from within the Schengen area. You therefore have three options: You can

  • try for an extension before you leave, or

  • change your travel plans, or

  • cancel your trip.

In my experience, changing a nonrefundable ticket may be less expensive or more expensive than buying a new ticket. You won't find out until you ask.

This is a great example of why visa applicants are advised not to make nonrefundable purchases until after the visa has been granted.

If the consulate made a mistake, then they will probably be willing to correct it, so you should definitely get in touch with them urgently to try to resolve this before your trip is scheduled to begin.
