Here is a situation:
I first travel to China without visa, and while staying there apply for a tourism visa, which should be used on the next entry.
After getting the visa, depart China to enter one of the Schengen countries, and then leave it to go back to China.
When entering China, use the tourism visa.
So I would like to apply for a visa that should be used on my next entry while traveling visa-free. I heard it is not possible to have more than one visa simultaneously but in my case it is visa-free travel. So is this possible?

If you can enter China visa free anyway, why apply for a visa at all? You seem to be trying to game the system somehow, which I'd suggest is an inherently risky idea.

@Airsick Because of the length of stay. Visa-free entry allows me to stay for only up to 15 days.

Then why not apply for the visa you need before you travel and avoid the need to fly all the way to the Schengen area and back in the middle of your trip? I can't help but think that there's something you're not saying here. If this idea makes me suspicious I'd guess that the Chinese will be too.

@Airsick Because generally it is not possible to apply from a country except your own. But I don’t live in my home country and won’t go back, so it is not possible to get the visa. The Schengen is just my current plan and it is fine to replace it with any countries.

The Wikipedia page specifies home country applications for only seven countries, and even for those there are exceptions for those with residency or work permits in third countries. None of those seven qualify for 15-day visa free entry. Can I suggest you edit your question to clarify your reasons, and include your own nationality.
