If I'm spending equal time in two countries, which embassy should I apply to?
In this case, you should apply at the embassy of the country you’ll enter first — also known as your first point of entry into the Schengen Area. 💡 Example: If you’re flying from Singapore to Germany first, then continuing to France, and you’ll spend 5 days in each country, your Schengen visa should be applied through Germany — because that’s where you’ll first arrive. This rule ensures that your visa aligns with your entry and travel plans, making it easier for border control officers to verify your itinerary. ✨ At Outbound Singapore, we help you map out your full itinerary, determine your correct main destination or first entry, and ensure your visa is submitted to the right embassy — saving you from common mistakes that can delay approval.
