yes, my question was, if we pay the £684 for 5 year visa at the time of submitting online application and we do not use any additional services at VFS, still is there any service VFS can charge? may be to take the fingerprints etc, or is that visa feel inclusive of those, stuff absolutely critical f...

thanks all. one more question, when trying to upload documents (which I am doing to save money from VFS doing it for my parents), just want to know under which section their passport copies should be added? The file upload is divided into several sections, but none relevant to applicant's passport. ...
thanks for the reply. any idea, how I apply both both mum and dad together so that they get the appointment at the same time pls? As far as I can see, each person has to fill their own form, so if I submit one first and book an appointment, then no guarantee that other would get the same appointment...

Hi, I am in the UK now and going to apply for visitor visa for my parents to visit me. I am using the online application, so first wanted to make sure if I am allowed to do that, or is it my parents who should apply from back home.

Hi, Apologies, I have asked this questions year ago, but unable to find that thread. so Mods, do not be upset and forgive me.

Hi all, I am trying to find out what type of visa we need to work in EU for short stints (less than 10 days at a time) I know some work are exempted under the Schengen waiver and looks like for Schengen Business Visa different countries have diff rules.. For example, France exempts IT Auditing (does...
To add to this, what I have found out is different embassies impose different rules on their Visa stickers. for example, French embassy might say Visa is not valid for Swiss although Swiss is a Schengen state. but Swiss gives visa to all states.... also the duration also varies... does any body know...
talking of Embassies does anybody know what the situation with Gibraltar, is UK Travel Doc holders go to Gib I presume give it is an overseas territory and then they can go to Spain from there?
or do we need to contact the Spanish embassy for this?
just wondering if your passport is stuck at an Embassy processing your visa and you want to travel to another EU country very very urgently, what can you do pls?
No, I do not think it is accurate, for Italy for example, it will say UN 51 UK Travel doc holders who are residents in the UK, need Visa to visit Italy..but my friend had visited without issue only last month....
I think the only way is to check with the embassy...
these are the rules I could find. 1) the Member State whose territory constitutes the sole destination of your visit(s). 2) if your visit includes more than one destination, or if there are several separate visits within 2 months, the Member State whose territory constitutes the main destination of ...
thanks for the reply. What you are saying is interesting to say the least - could you be able to point out to some of those thread so that I can read about them? the issue is with many EU embassies not accepting applications such as Switzerland, the options are limited. Hope one Schengen country rec...
Hi, to apply for a Schengen visa from UK (London) for urgent work purposes, does it matter which embassy it is applied from? I know about the rules which say if multiple countries are visisted, the visa should be applied at country where most time would be spent ? So, If one want to go to Spain via ...
are these border decisions change so quickly at the whim of any political tension? I would have thought reciprocal is if UK accepts French issued Travel document, France would do the same and this would be enshrined in law...is that not the case? Also, In the case of Netherlands, the Sheet says YES,...

I am getting contradictory info regarding travelling to EU countries on UK gov issued Travel documents (under 1952 UN Convention, also known as Blue Passport) after Brexit. does anybody know for sure what are the rules and regulations regarding this immigration right now after Brexit pls? Also even ...
what is interesting is when asked directly for Hollands embassy they say UK issued Travel documents (Blue Passport) need to apply for Schengen visa while the swiss embassy and the EU website says otherwise (http://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/sites/homeaffairs/files/what-we-do/policies/borders-and-visa...
