The directive allows for six months of processing time for the residence permit. I do not know how long it takes in the Netherlands or what their implementation of the directive says but check carefully if a C type visa is enough and what would happen if the confirmation of your status would take longer. In some countries the non-EEA spouse would have to leave and await the outcome from outside the Schengen area.spud wrote:we are going to apply for the Schengen visa (90 days)
At least the embassy admits that they don't really know how to handle this case. You are right of course that you don't have to be resident to be able to bring over your wife.spud wrote:The embassy says though they are refering my application to the foreign minastry as they did see my point... i.e what if I wanted to go on holiday to Spain and bring my wife.. which form would she need... aka a Shengen tourist visa... and would I need to formally have resideancy in Spain ...of course not..
I would strongly suggest you immediately get in touch with Solvit. http://ec.europa.eu/solvit/spud wrote:visa refused because I dont currently have the Dutch residancy stamp in my passport... MY OWN fault for not arguing the case..
