Re: Schengen visa to travel to Italy query

Many thanks

OK I will have a look at the website. I forgot to mention that I visited Italy last year for 4 days but that was based on the schengen visa issued by bls so I don't know if it would matter in any way. I appreciate your help.

Re: Flr M extension enquiry

Thanks so much for clarifying that, saves me some money. Thanks for the very quick response.

Just one more thing. I have an A2 test booked for my English but I see somewhere B1 test being mentioned in extensions for flr M. Is that the same thing or I booked the wrong test.

Much appreciated 🙏
