Schengen visa: does the record of a withdrawn application entered in VIS?

score:4

Accepted answer

Whether or not it was entered into the system THIS TIME, who knows. The only way to find out with certainty is to request your VIS information.

BUT standard procedure for the consular officer is to update the application file with a withdrawal note and an explanation as to why.

Article 10 Paragraph 2 of Schengen Visa Information System Regulation states:

  1. If an application is withdrawn or not pursued further by the applicant before a decision has been taken whether to issue a visa, the visa authority with which the application was lodged shall indicate that the application has been closed for these reasons and the date when the application was closed.

If you're curious as to what else is contained in this system see: What information is contained in the VIS?
