Schengen Tourist visa for non EU spouse details

Post by prss_vel83 » Wed Jan 09, 2019 10:46 pm

Dear All,

I am UK citizen. My spouse and daughter (5 years old) are Indian passport holders living in UK with PBS dependant visa. My spouse is self employed. We wanted to visit Germany for a week. Can you please help me with the below queries to apply schengen visa?

1. Please share the list of documents needed
2. How many months visa we may get going though German embassy. Few of my friends suggesting visit France first so that I can get 6 or 12 months multiple entry visa
3. Do I need to pay visa fee ?

Thanks in advance for your response.

You are a UK / EU citizen.
You will be travelling to another EU state that is not your own.
This means you will exercise your rights as defined in article 2004/38/EC.
Which means your family members can travel with you and enjoy the same freedoms.
Which also means that they get to benefit from a highly simplified, and accelerated visa procedure.

Documents and the procedure is explained here:

Length of visa depends on the embassy, the nationality of the applicants, how often you travel etc. Germany is likely to give you a 90 day visa but it can be given just for the duration of your stay. France might to differently, that is true. But you never know.

Visa is issues free of charge.

Can I apply the Visa directly in Germany Embassy to avoid the VFS cost? If yes can you please share me the link please?
