Schengen Visa advise - Urgent Help Needed

[UKimmigration]

Hello there,

My mum and dad (Indian nationals) are currently in the UK on a UK tourist visa. Before travelling to UK, they got the multiple entry Schengen tourist visa issued by Belgium embassy in Delhi (India) as we were planning to visit Belgium.

Plans have now changed and we want to visit Greece (again in the Schengen region) instead. We are told that since the Schengen visa was issued by Belgium, they have to go to Belgium first. If we go to Greece without touching Belgium, would they be refused entry?

It makes no sense for us to apply another schengen visa for the same period from Greece as they will be going there first.

Can someone advise please? Has anyone expereinced this type of any issue? How strict can Greek Immigration control be on this issue?

Many thanks for your help.

they can go to greece and would be asked if they plan to go to belguim or not? if not and if their visa is not long enough that they can argue that they plan to go there later, they might be refused at the airport.

Having said that, if they are allowed through, and later do not visit beguim, when applying again, they will be refused.

Many thanks for your reply.
I am now thinking of taking them to Belgium for a day trip.
However, the best route is to drive via Calais (France). I wonder, if we get on the boat to Calais - we would face French immigration and hopefully stamped french stamp and carry on to brussels.
My worry is that would still not be counted as a visit to Belgium, would it? (as it would have french stamp).
Would above help?
Thanks
