Can't be done, it's UK route or EU route, cannot combine.willyhoops wrote:So I guess I should rent a place for a year in the EU and get a five year residency to run alongside my UK Visa.
Probably to keep out the rabble who think they can buy a visa?willyhoops wrote: @@@@Everyone else@@@@ What you are missing is how absurd all this is- I got a one year multiple entry VISA to the USA in two days with proof of address + £100k savings in a bank account + return flights to the USA three weeks apart + two nights in a New York Hotel printed out from an email, but nobody here can tell me how to get a one year multiple entry EU Visa for love nor money despite being married to an EU Spouse and living in the second largest EU country by GDP. That's completely and utterly stupid and you should be ashamed of yourselves and your countries!
You are free to assume as you wish but in this instance both TLS and Ambafrance are wrong. You can ask them to justify their requirements against EU Directive 2004/38/ECwillyhoops wrote:@@@@Bans@@@@ You say "The french are probably the most liberal with schengen visas. I will be surprised if they issue you anything less than 1 year... Hotel booking is not required just plane/train/boat tickets in both names. "
That's not what TSLContact is saying, and the French Consulate have this on their web site: http://www.ambafrance-uk.org/Family-mem ... -Community
Family members of a Community National:
- Evidence of stay in France of the EU/ EEA/ or Swiss National (proof of travel and accommodation)
And TSLContact told me to get a fax or physical letter from the hotel in France confirming my visit not just an online booking print out. They said to stay with friends I need my friends to go to the Town Hall and get some official paper. I said I can't ask my friends to do that, and they said then you must book a hotel.
I am going to assume Bans you are out of date.
