Schengen Visa exipres a day before departure. Do I need to re-apply for visa?

Accepted answer

Coming from India, you can't stay in Schengen as a tourist without a visa. That means you won't be allowed to stay after the 23rd. http://www.schengenvisainfo.com/who-needs-schengen-visa/

To those who tell you that nothing will happen if you over stay, I can tell you about my personal experience the first time I left Schengen:

I overstayed because I thought I could stay 3 months instead of 90 days, and in those 3 months there were 91 days. I left on the day 91 and the border control noticed it immediately. They took me to a room for about 4 hours and made me endless questions: where have I been, what did I do, they asked me to prove all my stays and travels with tickets and receipts (which fortunately I had with me at that time), they made me sign a paper telling me that a process would start against me through my embassy for overstaying and that I might denied the access to Schengen in the future. Finally, obviously, I lost the flight I was supposed to take. So I had to pay for a new flight right there in order to leave Schengen. You can bet that with this sort of behaviour they make really sure that you will not over stay again.

On your overstay of 1 day, you are not going to get deported. Whether this will affect future visas is difficult to know, especially as different countries, and different immigration officers may have different reactions. I would honestly not worry about it.

Edit: But note above, it may cause problems on exit in some places.
