I have an expired Schengen Visa. Can I travel to Germany with it and then just renew it when I arrive there? Please help. Thank you.



Best Answer

No, you cannot (unless you are a citizen of a country whose citizens enjoy visa-free entry into the Schengen area, which I presume you are not). If you require a visa to enter the Schengen area, you must have a valid visa before boarding your flight to the Schengen area.
