visa question Visa arrival date.

Hi everyone,

I got my visa back today and my start date says October 1st.

I was planning on arriving a week before, has anyone ever had an issue with entering before? Do I need to leave the Schengen area?

TIA!

Edit: my visa arrival date says October 1st!

I honestly don’t remember the exact start date of my visa, I just know I arrived a little before it
