Hi everyone, I'd like to share my experience regarding my daughter's visa application at the Irish Embassy. I am an EU national, and I was planning to visit Dublin last Christmas with my non-EU family member. Here's a timeline of events: In October 2022, my non-EU family member submitted a visa appl...
Hi , I can imagine that you are very upset and emotional. But I'd say stay within facts if you want your appeal to be succesful. First, on what grounds did they refused your applciaiton, again it is not necessary to list any personal information here simply general facts why your applciation is deni...
Hi lalalandy2021, The general guideline with regards to the schengen visa code is that one must lodge his/her application at the diplomatic mission that is responsible based on his/her nationality or permanent residence. In very exceptional cases you can apply at other embassy but that must be justi...
Send me a PM , i think i may have a solution for you. I don't think it is necessary to send your parents back to Pakistan because then it will be tough from to come back. Send me a PM so we can discuss in further details.
Hi Iwolga, As a solicitor specialized in the Dutch law, I'd say that your question is legit. First, if you are married to a Dutch national you can apply for the naturalization outside the Netherlands provided you meet naturalisatie requirements ( see below a few example), in other words you do not n...
Hi,
Did you hear anything from INIS? It's common practice at INIS , and in case you haven't heard from them send another reminder. Keep us posted on the progress!!
@liksah: your statement is not really correct. First of all , UK is an EU member but not part of the Schengen agreeement. on the flip side, Switzerland has signed the Schengen agreement and but is not part of the EU. theoretically they could travel without visa based on the bilateral agreements betw...
I am confused - why would you need a work/residence permit as a Swiss national? What does your permit say exactly? In general: Will you be out of Germany for longer than 6 months? Any German residence permit (even "indefinite" ones) loses validity as soon as you stay outside of Germany for six mont...
Based on my personal experience I don't see the chance of winning in this case if this is your appeal letter, just a hint for you based your appeal more on facts rather than emotions or circumstance that you have control of. If you need a help I can certainly help you with that. Any way best of luck!!
As per my understanding of law after age of 21 years or end of the educational year (when they turn 21), your children are no longer considered dependants on you. The fact that they are in full time education or supported by you is no longer relevant. There might be certain exception to this rule, ...
As long as your wife has only the slovakian citizenship you simply cannot join her under austrian law for austrian citizen. It makes no sense for her to apply for the austrian citizenship first because it takes a lot of time and the austrian way of joining is much more harder than the eu route. Che...
I don't think u can bring ur brother over to ireland based on ur EU treaty rights as he is 25 years of age. He is a grown up man and cannot be dependent on u. I don't think that is correct what you are saying at least as far as I know because the Directive underlines that "Other family members such...
Dear all, I'm from South Korea. I am staying in Italy for more than one year illegally as a traveler (Koreans are granted to stay without visa for 3 months) and even used my mobile phone of my identity here (precisely a sim card that I bought with my passport). I would like to know if the Italian a...
hello hurricane thank you for your fast reply when i handed in my application at VFS she told me that if my marriage was registered in the Netherlands then i wouldn't have to pay visa fees only VFS handling fees! i'm going direct to the Spanish embassy tomorrow to complain about how this hole thing...
HI ALL So 8 days ago me and my wife go to VFS global in Agadir Morocco to submit our application form, we looked on the VFS global website and it states that family members of EU citizen only have to bring both passport copies and marriage certificate if your applying visa spouse route...so when we...
Well I'd say do not declare victory before its time because sending the decision to the embassy doesn't mean that they have overturned their initial decision. Owing to the fact that your residence is not in Sweden, the decision ( positive or negative) is usually sent to the embassy to hand it out to...
@mrworld9 I don't really agree with Treena, because it literally states in the directive 2004 " The right of entry of your third country family members is derived from their family ties with you, a Union citizen. All the Member State consular officials can ask for is their passport and a document es...
I am sorry to hear about your wife’s refusal. Frankly, I am not surprised at all since most EU embassies are very skeptical about Nigerians in general, and with high volume of visa applicant s they usually don’t even read the case properly, they put all Nigerians in the same basket. All they know is...
I think you should be more specific, just by reading your story I've got the feeling that the Italian authority might be right. As you are probably aware Philippine is not part of the apostille countries. Thus, in order for your wife to qualify for spouse of EU national (Directive 2004/38/EC) she wi...
Hi, My non-EU spouse has just had her family reunion visa rejected by the Spanish consulate in Lagos. I am a British citizen, who has been resident, working and paying tax in Spain for the last 9 years. The reason given for the rejection is that our Nigerian marriage certificate has not been endors...
No, there are special rules that apply to Switzerland, but the advice given was not correct. See this. http://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/policies/borders/docs/c_2010_1620_en.pdf#zoom=100 Thanks for the link :) that is what I thought too. But do u perhaps know what are the differences between Directi...
Hello good people, Can anyone answer the following question as I am very confused; - A friend of mine, who is an EU national, wants to go on short holiday with his non-EU family member to Switzerland, and they both live in a third world country. They've contacted the Swiss Consulate to know which do...
This is a question for all the members that have had the pleasure of applying for their spouses to get a visa to join them in a European country from Pakistan. Could you please post your experiences on which embassy was the most helpful? Which was the least helpful? Which was the fastest? My experi...
