Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

Lol @ passport number. Not sure if there is a very specific article that says "Schengen" means all member states. As fas as I know they simply talk about a common EU visa policy and "member states" , followed by some countries that opted out of all or some rules and further on d...

Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

"Etats Schengen". That means it is valid in all Schengen states (including France) untill it expires in november. :) I'll report your post though and ask if the passport number can be removed, I'd be careful with mentioning any unique details such as numbers tied to a specific person or a...

Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

The visa itself doesn't become void it can only expire on the date printed. Aslong as you don't exceed 90 days over the past 180 days you are fine and can travel around the Schengen area untill the visa expires. When it does expire, get a new one for free. Here what the visa stamp says; Valid for: ...

Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

You're welcome. Ah good to hear you didn't get screwed over by the Greeks. ;) As a general rule of thumb embassies should consider issuing a multi entry visa on the third application: frequent and bona fite travellers can get a multiple entry visa (MEV). Depending on the embassy they may automstica...

Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

You won't need a new visa untill your multiple entry visa (printed by the Greeks) expires. When your visa expires in the future you could ask for a new visa, which should be free. Just like your visa to Greece should have been free if you IDed yourself as a family member joining the EU/EAA national...

Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

You don't need another visa if your Schengen visa is printed without any exceptions (does it say "Valid only for Greece" ?). I don't understand why you're asking here if you still want to double check with the consulate. Just do that if it gives you peace of mind. As far as anyone here is...

Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

Calling probably won't be easy. Check their website. What Dnoutz said is correct. My civil partner has had visas for Spain and the Netherlands in this way, all for free and with very little documentation. These were issued in Beijing however, not in the UK. Here is the extract from the TLS France v...

Re: Urgent: Query on Schengen visa

Thanks for that Donutz! Do you think I can call the French embassy to double check that this is the case?

Re: Is it an issue not disclosing relative in UK apart from

Might get refused - might not - really hard to say. It depends on whether the ECO sees the omission as material to their decision or not. As for whether he can re-apply will depend on whether they regard the application as fraudulent as a result of not disclosing the relatives. There's a flowchart ...

Hello experts! My parents have applied for a General Tourist Visa. I am on a work permit in the UK and will apply for ILR in 2015. During their application they filled in the forms online as per the current procedure. On the bit where it asks for "family/friends in the UK" they have mentio...

Re: Tier 1 (General) extension checks

My question is, will the case worker go into my initial application to check on what I had shown for previous earnings and then contact HMRC to check if I have paid the correct tax and if so have I done before my deadline etc?
