We are not married yet. We had planned to get married at some point but now after all the difficulties we have encountered we have decided to get married sooner rather than later.

We have only lived together in India for 6 months (where we met and I was travelling Dec 2011 - Apr 2012), then 5.5 months when he came for the birth of our baby (staying with me at family home Aug 2012 - Feb 2013). Otherwise our time has been spent apart trying to get visas.

Hello, Just wanted to ask some advice on one point. My partner (Indian) has been refused twice now for a Schengen visit visa both times on the basis that he does not have sufficient funds etc, and that his intention to leave after 90 days could not be ascertained. True he does not have funds, but I ...

Dear All, Where to start? My partner is Indian and I am a UK citizen. We have a 9 month old daughter. He had to return to India from the UK in Feb, where he was visiting for the birth of our child. As I had some work lined up in Spain for the summer, we decided to apply for a Schengen visa for him t...

Thanks!

Hello all,

If my non-EU husband, living with me in Spain, has a residence card from Spain, what are the limitations, if any, on travel out of the EU? He is from India and we were hoping to spend some winter months there before returning to Spain.

Thank you for any information.

Hello All, My partner recently submitted papers for a Shengen visa but we did not have a letter from the Policia Nacional as I was not able to get this due to not being in Spain at the time. He has now been called for an interview at the Embassy. My question to you is, if you have any information at...

Anyone?? Thank you!

Can you clarify about the letter from the Policia please?

We are not married yet! This is for a tourist visa only.

Hello, My partner is currently in the VFS office in Delhi and the person there is saying that because we do not have an invitation from the Policia Nacional in Spain that the embassy will not accept our request for Schengen visa for Spain. I am UK citizen based in the UK but have work lined up for t...

We are trying for Spain.

Hi all,

On the VFS website on the documents required page it says an applicant must include an "attested copy of passport" of the inviting person to the Schengen country. Can anyone explain what this is and how important it is?

Thank you!

OK Thanks

It is so that we can apply for a resident permit for my husband in Spain.
Sorry to hear about your experience!

Hello,

Does anybody know of anything specific that the Spanish authorities require when having a UK marriage certificate "Apostilled"?

Thank you!

My Indian partner and I (I am Uk citizen) are getting married soon in England. He will be on a visit visa for marriage purposes. We would like to go to Spain for a short holiday before we leave the UK permanently before his visa expires. After we are married, will he be able to apply for a Schengen ...

Hello, I am a UK citizen and my partner (and father to our 4 month old child) is Indian. He is here on a tourist visa in the UK until Feb. We are unsure of the best way to proceed. I am self employed and will be shortly registering in Spain as I have work there for the summer. My partner and I would...

Thanks fysicus.

Will he be able to apply for the Schengen visa in England after we are married? and how long do these generally take?

Hello, I am UK citizen, currently self employed in Spain. My Indian partner (and father to our 4 month old) is currently in England with me on a tourist visa but will have to leave in February. He will come back to England as my fiance and we will get married as soon as we can. We then want to apply...

Thanks for posting. Which visa did you get when you went to Spain as a spouse of British citizen?

I am getting married to my Indian partner in UK (I am British) and then we will be going to Spain where I have work for the summer. We are wondering what visa he will need.

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your quick response.

Can we apply for his Spanish visa (spouse of EU person) from England then?

I met my partner in India last year and we have just had a child together in the UK. He is currently visiting on a tourist visa and will go back to India in February. We will then apply for a visa for marriage purposes to come to England and marry with my family present as soon as possible. We do no...

Hi, My partner is Indian and I am British. We have a child together. He has to return to India in February and we wondered if he can apply for an EEA FP from India to join me in the UK again, marry, and then leave for Spain where we want to settle as husband and wife. Any help appreciated. Thank you.

Thank you very very much! Very relieved to know that he will be, legally, able to work. Feels so good to have something positive. We will go back to India in Jan/Feb, and are now considering applying for a UK fiance visa. That way we could come back to England and get married before heading to Spain...
