I have recently been told that now the schengen visa does not have a start and end date - they only give out for a length of period as opposed to the dates. You have been told incorrectly. See: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=102396 Scroll down to "Anything I should know about the ...
The Thai girl's problem is a standard one: young, apparently unbound, unfinished education which all easily translate into the refusal given. Invoking 'prostitution' because the Consul had mentioned this earlier in an interviews is unnecessary and just sensationalist. Maybe, but then the case-worke...
And there lies the problem. You opine that CH can unlaterally make this change without actually arguing why. I am of the opinion that they can't because the Schengen agreement gave CH very clear rules how to operate their immigration. They cannot easily break out of this as mentioned earlier. Why s...
How so without being in conflict with the Schengen rules or the bilaterals? Neither provides for visa-free travel as you say. How do you propose to break out of this corset? Does the Schengen agreement allow extensions beyond the original agreement (it would obviously not be a problem for the other...
But seriously, such differences just stick out and it's not hard to spot them with a little bit of scrutiny. Such differences yield totaly different understandings of the law, and lead to totally differing implementations in different member states. Usually I would wish for an authority that rectif...
I agree it's rather silly of them. Of the Swiss? They do not have a legal choice. They would need to amend their bilateral agreement with the EU. Problem of that is that the free movement agreement is part of a bundle of agreements. If one falls all fall (Guillotine clause). Also, a new popular vot...
It would be pretty cool (but unrealistic) if a HUGE number of people travelling visa-free from UK/Ireland to mainland Europe would ask the Swiss Embassy, if they are allowed to enter Switzerland visa-free. Since Switzerland is the only country asking for a visa (for pretty silly reasons), they would...
Hi All, Just want to confirm if there are any border checks within the Schengan countries . Can someone fly within the schengan on easy jet with only presenting Residence card from a member state instead of the passport? Would they be going through Immigration if traveling on an easy jet flight bet...
Hi itbloke, If this is correct then the Spanish Embassy & consulate in London seem to know nothing about it & don't acknowledge it's existence, & simply keep trying to refer you to the third party company that now deals with there Visa applications for a fee. Having actually managed to speak to the ...
Hi bazzare, I throw the order of your post around a bit... ...As I am an Irish Citizen she will be on Stamp 4 and not stamp 4EUFAM, so we will have to apply for a schengen visa for each of our trips... I think its so ridiculous that Irish citizens and their spouses cannot enjoy the same rights as ot...
Punjab - I am very sorry. You write nonsense, you confuse the OP with more nonsense, and all of this in spite of warnings from my side and other very senior members telling you that what you write is incorrect, and in spite of the fact that another moderator already put you on -thin ice-. I will bl...
This is 100% wrong. Every Schengen visa is good for the entire Schengen area. This is the one statement that I disagree with. It is not a given that every Schengen visa is good for the entirety of the area. Member states may decide to apply exemptions as was the case for my first French Schengen vi...
guys how am I wrong I don't understand "schengen visa is not for whole schengen area if its a single entery one. It's only for one country which issues it. You can go to other places with your luck but if caught by police or io,s your future applications might be bad. your visa will be stamped on f...
This topic underlines the core problematic issue of the EU--unification of systems. Strongly agree, and I dislike the current system. Apart from Denmark, the UK and Ireland also don´t issue IDs. On the part of Denmark, this info is new for me. In Germany, you were only able to get the German ID as ...
schengen visa is not for whole schengen area if its a single entery one. It's only for one country which issues it. You can go to other places with your luck but if caught by police or io,s your future applications might be bad. your visa will be stamped on first port of entery. hopefully you wont ...
Not sure if this is the right forum but hey ho. Wife coming over to visit me from Argentina (we will apply for spouse visa in January) and we would like to go to Paris and maybe Belgium for a few days whilst she is over here. In terms of travel for her is that OK? Or will the French/Belgium authori...
Dear rk_2011, don´t listen to any of above crap, it is just crap. You can and may legally do your trip as planned, and you will not encounter any problems. I have no idea why ppl try to confuse you, and the most sensible answer of the last ones was Directives "alien"-theory. Have a beer, enjoy your ...
1. yes 2. it´s differentiated, just as international airports differentiate between "domestic" and "international" arrival. Intra-Schengen is always treated as "domestic", you will simply not see any immigration officers, not in Bern, not in Nice. (Well, not in Nice when arriving from Bern (="domest...
