Can I change port of exit after Schengen Visa issuance?

Accepted answer

As long as you leave the Schengen area at the end of your trip, I don't think anyone will care what you do.

I mostly agree with the answer by Henrik, but consider this:

  • You may change details of your itinerary after the visa was issued, as long as the premise of the application remains the same and as long as you meet the maximum days, earliest entry and latest exit, number of entries, etc.
  • You must not misrepresent your itinerary during the visa application, in the hope that the lies will make it easier to get the visa.

From that follows a third point:

  • You should avoid giving the impression that you lied by excessive changes to your itinerary.

Going directly home, instead of the planned last leg of the journey, would be no problem at all.

Traveling through a different, unplanned Schengen state on your way to or from the main destination is not a problem as long as it sounds plausible. For instance, if you had planned to enter France and then go to Germany for a conference, and then get a better flight through the Netherlands, you can skip France and enter through the Netherlands instead.

Coming and leaving a week later than planned should be no problem, if the visa had enough validity. Business meetings and vacations get re-scheduled all the time.

But almost doubling the planned duration (17 days to 30 days) looks bad.
