Greetings all. I currently hold a valid multiple-entry Schengen business visa issued by Hungary. I successfully utilized it for my primary business trip to Budapest last month, so the main destination requirement is satisfied. I now intend to travel to Italy for a 4-day trip in April. My question is regarding the regulation: is it permissible to enter Italy directly using this Hungarian visa since the main destination of the original application has been met? I want to ensure my balance of days and entry requirements are correct before I commit to the flight costs.
Yes — since you’ve already used your Schengen visa for Hungary as the main destination, you can enter Italy directly as long as your visa is still valid and within the 90/180-day limit.
