Re: Schengen Visa 9 days only

Was this application for an EU family visa? With EU/EEA/Family visas, if travelling together (as you should), they (immigration control) can not cause trouble when leaving the country due to over-stay of visa. Those who need visas (your spouse / dependant family) technically only need it for entry ...

Re: Schengen Visa 9 days only

What did you put in your application form in terms of number of days requested? Maybe they just complied with that. Also it might be because perhaps it's a accompanying child, a first time schengen visa, etc. It should be fine if it is in line with your travel plans. Actually I don't remember what ...

Schengen Visa 9 days only

We applied for my non EEA stepdaughter’s Schengen Visa at German embassy in London. I know that we didn’t have to provide travel plan but we did because I wanted to show them that our travel starts and ends in Germany. The visa has been granted today but instead of being 30/60/90 days it is valid on...

Thanks @dan1988uk. We'll try our luck with the EEA FP Number at the French application center, then.

Do you remember the number you used? Was it the VAF Number, or the reference number in red on the top right hand corner of the visa?

Thanks!
The red one, we got her visa just today.

Re: Travel to France for non-EU citizen with EEA family permit but no residence card

Thanks for the reply dan1988uk. Last year my wife (then girlfriend) was in the UK under a short-term study Visa, and when we tried to get a Visa from the French Consulate we couldn't because my wife didn't have a British Residence Number. So it could be they have different requirements than the Ger...

With a family permit she can request a Schengen visa. Only with a tourist visa is not possible, the German embassy in London confirmed this to me recently.

Re: Romanian passport and freedom of movement status

This post can have a meaning only if the OP is talking about Romanian ID and not passport. In Italy foreigners living in the country will get an Italian ID that states that it’s NOT valid to travel abroad do not valid to enjoy freedom of movement.
