My wife received EU family member short term visiting visa to go to france from this month (may)for holiday that we planned to go in july. But since we have visa from this month can we go to a different country 1st other than france ? Or do we still have to wait till july to go to france 1st and there after we can go to other Europe countries ?
It depends on which category of Schengen visa your wife has been issued. For example:
Limited territorial validity visas (LTV)
This type of visa obtained allows you to travel only in the Schengen State that has issued the visa or in some other cases, in the certain Schengen States specifically mentioned when applying for the visa. Apart from these Schengen countries, this specific visa is invalid to any other Schengen country not specified prior.
