Indian Marriage apostille stamp- for a schengen visa

Post by lulu218 » Mon Apr 04, 2016 10:03 am

Hi All,

I am a British Citizen, my wife is an Indian living with me in the UK with a BRP, we want to travel Greece, however my wife will require a Shenghen visa, because she has UK issued BRP.

Ive looked into getting a schengen visa, but it says our marriage certi needs to be apostilled, do you know how I can get this done in the UK without having to travel to India, any agency you can recommend?

Also what countries can me and my wife travel to in Europe, with just our passports and her BRP? no visas.

Thank you all in advance for your help and guidance, much love.

Marriage cert only has to be apostilled if she wants to apply without paying the visa fee. If she applies as just a regular tourist and pays the visa fee, it won't need to be done (I did this as couldn't apostille my marriage cert in the UK and could only do it from home country).

Does your wife have ILR or just a spouse visa?

Dear Lulu218,

I would highly recommend that you apostille the marriage certificate, not only for this trip to Greece, but you will need it in the future.

The address to obtain an apostille in UK is:

Legalisation Office
Foreign and Commonwealth Office
PO Box 6255
Milton Keynes
MK10 1XX

If you’re sending your documents from abroad or by courier from the UK:

Legalisation Office
Foreign and Commonwealth Office
Hanslope Park
Hanslope
Milton Keynes
MK19 7BH

The fee is 30 Pounds,

Hope this helps,
Luis Massieu

Please see the answer here - http://www.vfsglobal.com/greece/unitedk ... pouse.html This is the official website of the Greek Visa Application Centre in London. If still in doubt - give them a call. Good luck!

Kind Regards,
