My parents are visiting me for a month- I live in NYC. They want me take them on a two week short European trip leaving New York while visiting me.



I am a US Citizen and they carry a US multiple entry visa. They plan on applying a Schengen visa as soon as possible from the Philippines but “they were told” that they can only leave/enter to and from Europe to Philippines if they apply in that country. Is this correct? (manila-nyc-europe-nyc-manila)

No. There is no such requirement.



Somebody will put a notice on this answer that it is unsourced, but governments aren't generally in the business of listing requirements that they do not impose. If you're in the mood for some light reading, you can look in the Schengen Borders Code and the Schengen Visa Code, where you will find no such requirement.

    I guess something got garbled in the transmission:



    • Usually they can only apply from their country of residence. They can transit through other countries, of course.

    • In their application, they must make it credible that they will leave again. This is easiest if they return to their place of residence, but also possible in other itineraries.
