Visa expiry and re issue

Upvote:1

They are unlikely to extend leave on your existing visa if you have not yet entered Schengen with it and it would result in your obtaining more leave than what they wanted to issue.

Based upon what you wrote, you still have 29/30 days of unspent leave so you can apply again and simultaneously request cancellation of your existing visa. Voluntary cancellation has no effect on future applications.

For your other questions...

  • You do not have to wait until your current visa expires to submit a fresh application as long as you are cancelling your existing visa;
  • There is no penalty.
