Road trips in Europe ! Do I need to mention ?

[The Mancunian]

Hi All,

I travelled in Europe almost every weekend when I was there on business Visa in Germany.
For all my travels there is no in/out stamping in Germany or the other countries travelled on the passport.
So do I still need to mention these travels ? If yes, then my German Visa is proof enough for those countries ?

Thanks !

Technically CIC can not find out that you took those trips as there are no border controls once in the Schengen area. However EU members are still sovereign countries and you should mention any trips you had. It's always best to answer truthfully to such questions as you never know with CIC. If anything you will convey credibility for any other questions you answered if you responded truthfully to the one you could have lied about and gotten away with it.

Makes sense Alex...Just was worried with the stampings..but I googled a lot and found that
it is not necessary to have stamps for Schengen nations.
Thanks anyway ! good luck !
