#5. Have you ever tried to use your one year (or longer) multiple entry visa after spending the full 90 days consecutively to reenter the zone (after six months has lapsed since your first entry) before?
Has anyone ever done that before?
What some of you have been saying must have meant that regardless of how long the multiple entry visa validity may be given, be it 1 year or longer, one can use it to enter the zone several times (that I am fully aware of) but the total period must not be more than 90 days. So, if the maximum stay of 90 consecutive days had been used up in one visit, let say from 1 March (first day of entry) until 29 May (total 90 days), then when the holder left the zone that visa automatically became invalid. Even though the visa still had 9 months or 1 year and 9 months (for 2-year visa) or 4 years and 9 months (for 5-year visa) left to go? The holder would have to apply for a new visa if wanting to return to the zone?
That is absolutely pointless and nonsense.
So in effect, the wordings "the duration of stays is 90 days in every six-month period" should be rewritten then.

Duration A visa allows you to stay a maximum of 90 days per 6 months in Denmark and is normally valid for the entire Schengen region.
If the visa has been issued for several entries of 90 days with a validity of between one and five years, the validity of the permitted stay is always 90 days per six months.
How is the six month period calculated?
The six month period is calculated from the date of first enty into the Schengen region. The date of first entry is:
the date on which you entered the Schengen region for the first time, and subsequently the date of any subsequent entry into the Schengen region which takes place after the expiration of a six-month period.
This means that if you arrive for the first time in Denmark or another Schengen country on 1 February 2010, you can stay in the Schengen region for a period of three months (90 days) within the six-month period which ends on 31 July 2010.
If you return again on 1 October 2010 – i.e. more than six months after your very first entry into the Schengen region – this date will constitute a new 'date of first entry'. Therefore, 1 October 2010 constitutes the beginning of a new six-month period during which you can stay in the Schengen region for a period of up to three months.
If you arrive again on 1 June 2011, it will be this date which constitutes the next 'date of first entry', and so on.
***Above is the written fact.*** unless my understanding of the language is not up to standard.
Since no one seems to know the absolute fact on how long one can really spend time in the Schengen zone on a1-year or longer multiple entry visa then how about trying to interpret the above statement from the embassy of Denmark.
more on this; http://www.travellerspoint.com/guide/Schengen_Visa/#Visa_types
Visitor visa (C visa)
Visitor visa are required for non-exempt third-country nationals. The same rules apply to those who are exempt from visa application; they just do not need to apply in advance, but are granted the visa (in the form of an entry stamp) upon arrival.
The holder of a C-type visa is allowed to stay in the Schengen area for maximally 90 days in a 180-day period. This means you can stay in the Schengen area for at most 90 days, then leave for 91 days, then come back, etc.
I have been living in the Schengen zone for many years but have never used a Schengen visa before in my entire life but all my comment is based on the written regulation and general knowledge.
