Tier 2 approved - how to get a Schengen

Post by tier2_applicant » Wed Jan 25, 2012 12:04 pm

Hi everyone,

My Tier-2 (Company Sponsored) Visa has just been approved and I am waiting for the solicitrs to receive my documents and the biometrics card. (I was on a PSW Visa before this)

I plan to visit France for a weekend soon on a leisure trip. Can someone please advise what the process would be to go about getting a Schengen visa for my trip.

I am an Indian citizen, been in the UK for 3 years and have never applied for a Schengen/any other country visa before.


Thanks.

Shengen Visa for France as a main destination is now taken care of by an external agency called TLS Contact (similar to VFS dealing with UKBA in India).

Check this site for information:

You will need to make an application and attend a short interview, so face to face. The visa comes withing 3-4 days of attending the interview. My husband and I both applied and got 6 months visa last year. All the best!
