visa validity

[jagannath]

Hi,

My schengen visa expires on 7-11-2007. Question. Is the visa expiry meant for stay after which i have to leave the Schengen countries or is it for entry into the Schengen area.

Reason i am asking is because i plan to get to Germany on 5th and then head to Italy on 9th will this be possible?

I need a reply very quick as i have to make this decision in the next few hours if possible.

Thanks

Schengen Visa

This visa is given as per the required number of days you need to be in the Schengen countries.

If you got a 15 day visa, you can remain in the Schengen [Euro] countries for a total of 15 days only.
