German VISA starting one day after departure

Hi

I have applied for German VISA for 4 months from 15 Nov. I have collected my passport but I found one mistake that in stamp they have mentioned starting date is 16 Nov. My ticket is of 15 Nov.

Please someone reply what can be done in that case. I want to change date from 16 Nov to 15 Nov.

Regards
Varun

Unless they have moved Germany, you may be better off posting in the Europe forum.

Change your ticket so that the departure is the 16th Nov or perhaps departure on the 15th but arrival, after midnight, is on the 16th.

It's not an overnight journey and I have to be there on 15Nov.

Is it possible if I contact consulate, they will change the starting date?

If I plan to stay at airport only till 16 Nov, will immigration people allow me to board the flight on 15 Nov?

Seriously. Varuna, post this on the Europe forum where you may find someone who has experience of this. Many airlines would refuse you boarding IF they noticed the error so you would be best getting it changed in advance. It may be possible to change the visa or you may have to apply for a new visa. The only way you will get a definitive answer is to call the consulate.

I have already posted on Europe forum and I also had discussion with consulate. I am having meeting today with them. Let's see.

Thanks crellston for your advice.
