Schengen visa for spouse of UK citizen - self employed

[rshelar]

Hi,

I am a British Citizen and I am self employed as a director of a Ltd company. My wife is from a non EU country and I wish to apply for Schengen tourist visa for France.

It requires me to get letter from employer and payslips. However being a self employed person, I am not aware what I should provide -

Can anyone please advise?

I am planning to provide letter from accountant and dividend vouchers. Is that sufficient?

Also, since my wife isnt working I selected all expenses for her trip will be sponsored by me. Do I need to provide a sponsor letter? In the online visa application I have only added her as I dont need a visa.

Regards

A limited company is a distinct legal entity so you must be an employee of that company.
Get a letter from HR (even if you are HR).

You should simply exercise your wife rights as the spouse of an EU citizen. Normally there is a box to tick wish eliminates nearly all the questions asked. This applies to non-EU spouses of EU citizens too.


She is entitled to the same freedom of movement as you are without question as to reason for the travel or financial background.

You do not need to show any financial information or supporting documents other than your marriage certificate. The visa should be issued on an accelerated basis.

The visa will be issued free.

This article explains it all.

The French embassy in the UK uses TCS. You will need to go straight to the embassy itself otherwise you are simply paying an agency fee.

As the non-EU spouse of an EU citizen she has an automatic right to a visa. She can remain for in the EU country for 3 months without a visa and entitled to a for a residence card in that country to remain for up to 5 years provided you are with her.
