Can you enter Spain if you had your Schengen Visa from a French consulate?

Answer 1

There are three distinct groups, with different requirements, that may travel in Europe. They are citizens of a country in the European Union, citizens of a country that are allowed to travel to a EU country without a visa, and citizens of other countries that require a visa to travel to a European Country.

Citizens of a member country of the EU except Ireland and the UK can travel freely among the EU countries with no visa and no passport. The national ID of their native country is sufficient.

Citizens of non EU countries that are not required to have a visa may travel around the EU with their passport only.

The Schengen Agreements have now been incorporated into the legal system of the EU. They are now controlled solely by the European Commission. The EC has deleted some of the provisions of the original Schengen Agreement Signatories to the Schengen Agreements who do not agree with changes made to the Agreement by the EC have 2 options. They may constructively disagree (disagree but follow the rules anyway) or opt out completely.

Schengen visas are available to those individuals required to have a visa to travel to any country in the Schengen Area.

Visa holders must state ,on their application the country that will be their point of entry to the EU and what countries they wish to visit or transit. Once they are legally in the Schengen Area, they may freely travel to any other Schengen country listed on their application.

The EU Visa Code enumerates the rules and conditions of the visas.
