In Bulgaria with an invalid Schengen Visa. Have flight back home from Czech Republic, what should I do?
score:2
I imagine it might be possible if not flying with luggage:
- Register online for your flight to Singapore.
- Fly from Bulgaria to Czech republic - you will be let out to non-schengen cleared area after your flight.
- Go to your Singapore flight gate and board. You will not be entering Schengen area at any point or pass through passport control.
- You will not be able to check in luggage because that will require going thru passport control.
This assumes you have a direct flight Czech -> Singapore and not e.g. Czech -> Finland -> Singapore. No intra-Schengen legs. If you do, you can try to re-book your flight, e.g. go from Bulgaria to Helsinki directly and there board a Singapore flight without connecting leg.
This also assumes you're missing your Czech event because you're not exiting airport.
This also assumes that Czech airport (Prague?) has cleared non-Schengen transfer area and that there are flights from Bulgaria coming in before Singapore flight is departing, and you're on it.

Your friend made a grave mistake somewhere
Connecting at Helsinki, if the trip from Singapore to Bulgaria was on one ticket, he should not have cleared Finnish immigration at all; thus, his Schengen visa should not have been "activated"
If it was on separate tickets (meaning luggage had to be collected) then he should in fact have specifically requested a double-entry visa, presenting the itinerary as evidence and noting that it's on separate tickets (meaning luggage has to be collected past immigration).
Unfortunately your friend is completely out of luck regarding the Czech event. Most, if not all, Schengen embassies will not process visas for people not citizens or legal residents of the country of location.
