You were issued a 1 month single entry schengen visa as the non-EEA spouse of a EU national? Surprising... I assumed the least such applicants got was a mult. entry 6 month visa? Which country issued yours?My Schengen Visa, issued in London, is valid for a month and I must spend a maximum of 14 days during that time.
For a single entry visa you can travel as thus: From London hop, skip and jump to any other schengen state as many times as you like (within the 14 days) but once you exit the schengen zone (for instance returning to London) you cannot re-enter on the same visa. Hence the term 'single entry'.Can I travel to more than one schengen countries although my visa is a single entry visa?
Did you mean to say: "this is sometimes the case when it is the applicant's FIRST schengen visa"? Was this your first?I am not sure why I was given a single entry visa, I have read that this is sometimes the case when it is the applicants schengen visa?
If you were travelling with your EU spouse, you would NOT need to seek an extension even if you overrun your time.Pasha wrote:If I did want to stay more than 14 days, I would have to apply for an extension which is not which is not really what anyone would like to be doing when on holiday but luckily our trip is not going to exceed 14 days.
Apart from the fact that you cannot extend this kind of visa anyway...Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:If you were travelling with your EU spouse, you would NOT need to seek an extension even if you overrun your time.Pasha wrote:If I did want to stay more than 14 days, I would have to apply for an extension which is not which is not really what anyone would like to be doing when on holiday but luckily our trip is not going to exceed 14 days.

I was trying to say that the visa is about entry into the country only. Any maximum time in the country limit to the visa is just show. The law says it is up to 90 days unconditionally, and more than that if the EU citizen is working, self supporting or a student studying...
I think from last month the spouse of an EEA citizen does not need a visa any moreDirective/2004/38/EC wrote:Actually I also mean that for the family member of an EU citizen (even one who does not have a RC) the visa is an entry visa only. It regulates only entry to the country. If you will, it regulates only the dates that you can pass through the frontier and into the country. Once you are there, you can spend up to 90 days in the country without any other preconditions.
Hi Andy. You're right, but it's not since last month - it's since 30th April 2004.andyfish wrote:I think from last month the spouse of an EEA citizen does not need a visa any more
as long as he/she has his/her residence permit with the words "family member of EEA national" endorsed, and are travelling with the spouse

My wife was issued with a visa for 4 (four) days , valid for a period of 14 days, by the German embassy in Dublin.
