Multiple entry Tourist Schengen Visa Required?

score:1

Accepted answer

If you have separate tickets, then you're out of luck -- a single-entry visa will not allow you to enter the Schengen area twice, which you'd need in order to recheck baggage on the way to Colombia.

(It might have been a tactical mistake to ask for a visa with multiple entries instead of two entries. People often ask for multiple entries "just in case it works", but specifying 2 entries in particular could have made the consular workers look closer at your itinerary to find a reason for that).

Your only options now are:

  • Point out the problem to the consulate and hope that their reaction will be "oops, that was a mistake, we'll fix that". Might be a long shot, but it would be silly not to try.

  • Reschedule your travel so you either won't pass through Paris on the way out, or can have your baggage checked through.
