Change in Itinerary - Any Problem in Future Applications?

Upvote:2

Does that minor change in itinerary in 2017 as I traveled to Switzerland for business reasons would have any effect on my current Schengen visa application?

It's very unlikely. The problem with changes in plan arises when visa officers or border officers suspect that the original application was fraudulent. But adding a short trip to Switzerland to a business trip in Italy doesn't smell of fraud, all the more so because with the change, you still spent more time in Italy than in Switzerland.

(Sometimes people submit fraudulent applications because they believe they are more likely to get a visa from a different country, so they make it look like that country is the main destination when in fact it is not. In your case, the main destination of both your original itinerary and your modified itinerary is the same.)

Second, I had multiple entry visa for an year, but I used it only once to travel! Would they think I keep requesting Multi Entry Visas, but used them only once!

I wouldn't worry too much about this one, either. You've been receiving multiple entry visas because you are seen as a frequent and trustworthy traveler. You will probably continue to be seen as such, so you will probably continue to receive multiple-entry visas.

I am asking this as one of my mates made me scared!

If you can add some details of any stories you've heard that have contributed to your fear, we can perhaps highlight the factors that make these stories dissimilar to yours, if there are any.
