Im a resident of the UK but hold a non-UK passport. I hope you are somehow aware about the issue with the lack of visa appointments here in UK. It's just impossible to book an appointment to almost any Schengen country. I just got lucky with my slot for Netherlands.

If I only have a choice, I will apply my visa to the country that I really want to visit primarily. I don't want to bend any rules or find any loopholes, but due to the VFS situation, I am desperate here.

I really want to visit France, not Netherlands. Now, what if I book roundtrip flights from UK to Amsterdam. Then once in Amsterdam, get a train/plane to France and spend majority of my trip there. At the end of the trip, go back to Amsterdam for my exit. What are the risks here? Thank you in advanced.

There would be two options:

  • You tell the truth in the description of the itinerary, and the Netherlands will decline to process your application because you should be applying in France.
  • You lie in the description of the itinerary. Either this deception is not detected, and you may get the visa, or it is detected because your bogus plans appear incoherent. Then your visa application would be denied and that gets into your record.

While you may not be caught, it is a really bad idea to take the risk.
