Re: schengen visa help

You will need one visa for each person. Copy the papers of the car, adding a note that the original is with the visa-application of person X. Whether you need multi-entry depends on which countries other than France you plan to visit. If you stay within Schengen, you will only need a single entry. R...

Re: Schengen Tourist visa for 2 visits within a 7/8 month pe

Maximum validity for Schengen-visas is 5 years. So "yes", you can apply for this. If you apply for "double entry" you can only enter twice. If you have "other travel in-between", it should either be outside Schengen, or you will need "multiple entry" rather th...

If the embassy faxed everything to the airport, the denial was due to overbooking (even if KLM denies this). Call KLM headquarter in AMS. If they don´t give you a new, free ticket + compensation, you should sue them. "Just" a new, free ticket >>won´t do<< . Please make sure to get as much ...

Re: travelling with my EU partner

You may legally go to Schengen without visa. The embassy confirms this, and you were effectively never denied. All that happened is that you got stuck with uninformed borderguards, which is something that (unfortunately) occurs from time to time. If you read (for example) >>this thread<< you will se...

If married, it may be prudent to apply for the EEA-FP, but you are also legally entitled to go without visa!

I wonder the same. Is there one definite version?

If this is so, I would include it into the/my Schengen-Application guideline.
