Schengen Visa for dependent on British Citizen

[yogini]

Hi All,

I have an Indian Passport and a dependent visa on my husband who has his ceremony today and would receive his passport soon. My son too will receive his passport along with his father. My question is, in such a case will I need a Schengen Visa for my Swiss Trip that I have planned for next month. We would be travelling as a family.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you will need a schengen visa.

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I got to know from one of my friends that I can go walk-in for the visa and get it immediately without any visa fee. Is that true ?

Hi,
Just a quick question. I am trying to reach the Swiss Embassy on above mentioned number since last 2-3 days but no luck. Can I do directly with all the documents and get the visa on the spot? Will they take my documents without appointment?

Thanks in advance!

Note Quite a few references to 'appointments' in the above summary.

This document, on the page linked to by Casa earlier, states,

Processing time is approx. 7 working days from the date of receipt of documents. Please note that the visa cannot be issued on the same day.
