Hi,

Have you considered not showing up? As long as you are absent, there is no way they can process your information and visa for that matter.

Thanks all for the reply. WIll take only British passport. My wife, who has more than two passports, had the same worry the first time she got a second passport even though her country has no qualms on multiple citizenship. I presume your worry is because India does not support dual citizenship. En...

I have tried to check online and couldn't find reference to 3months multiple visa. only 1,3 and 5years.Any help will be appreciated. Hi, You might ...

I hope you resolved your issue by now. For the purpose of others who may have the same issue here are the answers: 1)Does Canadian gov accepts [Refugee's] Travel document? Yes 2) if yes, do I need to apply for visit /tourist visa or ETA. Visitor visa 3) Online or paper application? Paper application...

Good day, I am looking for an advice. I am EU married to NON-EU. We recently got an Schengen Visa issued for Netherlands, as I wish to exercise my right of free movement there. However we are finding it extremely difficult to find any accommodation in Netherlands at the moment. We have considered t...

HI my wife has UK spouse visa. I am BC. We would like to go to Portugal for a holiday. Can we apply directly via embassy so we can avoid VFS? cant' stand them! Hi! Looks like the only way to apply for visa through Portugal consulate in UK is via VFS. However if your plan to travel won't go beyond O...

I am also confused by this as it pertains to ONLY Schengen visas (under free movement). Theoretically any Schengen visa (under free movement) issued to non EU/EEA family members of UK citizens are the ones that will be affected as UK will no longer be a member of EU. As for non EU/EEA family members...

"MFA say that since my wife has Bulgarian Residence Card as of Family Member under Directive 2004/38/EC (Family Member of an EU citizen) and We travel together to Germany then "We don't have to go through any Visa Procedure at German Embassy in Sofia" but can do all paperwork once we are in Germany....

but this shouldn't matter, the OP is exercising her right of free movement by travelling (or accompanying) her EEA National spouse. Work has absolutely nothing to do with this right. Why are you giving wrong advice?)) this disclaimer below should be highlighted and repeated within your message, bei...

Hi all, didn't seem to find anything relevant/similar. Me: British national, got married recently Wife: NON-EEA national Both currently living in Russia and wanted to travel to France for holidays. 1) consulate website states that visa fee is only waived for spouses of French nationals?! and for ot...

Hi I am British and my wife has 2.5 extended visa with BRP. we had Schengen ones from Greece last year and we travel to Greece for 1 week. traveling to London to apply for visa for each trip is painful I heard we can apply for 3- or 5-years visa. My Q: Can we get type of visa so we can enter any Sc...

Hello everyone I am an Indian Passport Holder and UK Resident. I would like to apply for Schengan visa from France Embassy as my longest stay is in France area. My itenirary is as per below Prague (Czech Republic) from 30 Aug to 01 Sep (3 days- first entry) France (from 09 Sep to 15th Sep) (7 days ...

Hi, teckytop.

Awesome and very helpful read. This shows the importance of proper documentation and being a bit versed on the EU/EEA laws on free movement and entry procedures.

I would love to see many successful stories here from others. Kudos to you!

Hi, As per requirements, when you apply for a Schengen visa as a family member you, technically, need some sort of proof that you are traveling with your spouse, or you are going to join them. However, sometimes it just happens that these two conditions are hard to be met, especially when you alread...

Oh! Didn't quite get the OP's meaning. In two days' time not so sure. It might depend on the circumstances - if it is an emergency and the consulate deems it as so. If you are a family member of EU/EAA citizen it can be easier as the visas are supposed to be issued as fast as possible. I had mine pr...

Hi, I don't know why TLS will, specifically, state a submission date on August 1 whilst the Schengen visa application can be submitted as far back as 90 days before your intended travel date. Maybe due to the volume of applications depending on where you are applying (in India or UK). If France's Sc...

Hi Genny, I think you should go ahead and do it. You can book even for a day. It is also refreshing to know that France's approval rates for Schengen visas for EU/EEA/CH family members is pretty high. Done that myself and not a single time I was given any complications with documentation. Hi ibwe, ...

Hi Genny,

I think you should go ahead and do it. You can book even for a day. It is also refreshing to know that France's approval rates for Schengen visas for EU/EEA/CH family members is pretty high. Done that myself and not a single time I was given any complications with documentation.

I do not think it will be a problem that you are not working now. The fact that you are a family member of Slovenian citizen means that you will get the visa in one way or another as long as you meet the requirements (these are often less stringent than if you are not an EEA/UE/CH family member). Th...

Based from what I know is that if you are applying as a family member of EU/EEA/CH citizens, you are not supposed to provide accommodation information. I can't say for a fact that France would demand such. Since they introduced the online application format, I haven't used it yet. However for applic...

I have understood clearly. Thanks for taking time to explain.

with all due respect Sir/Madam

It is Sir

I assume you mean the same thing but you are probably mixing two different things: 1. Family member of EU citizen (especially non-EU family members) and 2. their right of free movement within EU/EEA/CH. One never cease to be a family member (barring divorce etc) but their right of free movement are ...

Hi, not sure if you have filed the application or not. However here is the rundown of your requirements. The invitation you refer has to be submitted prior to application of a visa to Romania. Your fiancée will have to do it in Romania. I suggest she ask someone in her family to submit the invitatio...

You've lost me a bit: You are forgetting the most crucial part of the wordings - family member of an "EU" national. For the purpose of immigration, a UK national who is not in an another member state is not considered to be an EU national. A UK national is only considered as a "EU" when he is in ano...

You see, I was under the impression that it is under the IO decision to ask or not to ask. Your post made me research further and ask a couple of people who had the same experience. Turns out EU has a Practical Handbook for Border Guards (SchengenHandbook). In it there is a special chapter for how t...
