Thanks for the info. We did the same thing last month but received only 2 weeks of visa (applied standard tourist visa) from France (no other bookings included) which is so weird.Zerubbabel wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 10:21 pmI was looking for similar information for a friend of mine:

France seems to have a Long Stay Visa that lasts from 90 day to 1 year with a limit of no more than 90 days stay within 180 days.
Sometimes they call it "Visa Type D". I have seen it on some passports and it allows travel within Schengen area for up to 90 days in total (not 90 days within 180 days).
If you have savings and want to go often to France/EU, you can try that route. Normally, as long as they see the money and consistent travel history, it should work.
I agree if its EU Dependant but she applied for normal Schengen Tourist visa just like any other non-eu people by submitting all her payslips, documents, return trip details and paid the fee.
Theoretically she can. However there are number of factors that need to be considered. The usual are employment, insurance, country of origin, financial capacity, itinerary, which member state are you applying to, EU/EEA family member etc. Some people just get the longer multiple entry visas without hassles others don't. There is no formula to tweak the Schengen visa lengthy as it is at the discretion of country that issues it.

Having said that, it won't hurt if you ask for a lengthy visa. After gathering all the documents needed, write a cover letter like this one used officially by Germany embassy in China.
When you give the reasons, try to think along these lines: The applicant must prove that he or she is 'forced' by the circumstances to travel frequently to Schengen area. Here, things like the family connections (relatives) of the spouse might be considered. Also having a vacation home or a frequent vacation spots can be a valid reason. Even a preference to be in the Schengen area during vacations might be a good reason.
In my experience, France and Greece has been quite reasonable in giving 6 months, 1 year to 3 years multiple entry visas.
