Here is a breakdown of our situation
Me
- British Citizen
- Married in Sep 2014
- Currently living in Morocco
- Moroccan Citizen
- Previously issued a 90 day Irish visa to travel with me as an Non-EU Spouse and had conformed with all the terms of the visa
- We wish to travel to Spain on a 90 Day Schengen Visa
- Due to the long wait for an appointment and the visa services for the Spanish embassy here being outsourced to VFS we have decided to apply for a Schengen visa from another European country to enter Spain (possibly from the Czech embassy as they have a very fast turnaround time)
- The overall aim is for us to settle in Southern Spain and for me to work in Gibraltar as I am a British Citizen I would not require any extra permissions to do this
In practice, I know I should actually visit or stay for a long period in the country that issues the visa but I do not want to face long waits and a possible refusal from the embassies which are in demand here in Morocco.
