Can you back this up with some facts?Eric-Poole wrote:Always apply for a Schengen Visa to your National Consulate. They will give you a FREE one year visa that will allow your spouse to travel to ALL Schengen Countries.
I am German/Belgian, and lived with my Lebanese wife in Ireland.Eric-Poole wrote:Let's assume that you are French, you should apply for your Spouse Visa at the French Consulate in London. If you have registered your marriage, they will give a 12 month Schengen Visa for your spouse Free of Charge. This will allow your spouse to travel to all Schengen countries. You can book an appointment for Spouse of French/EU citizen from their website.

I am not French. My embassy would not give my wife a one year visa. From where did you get the information that the spouse would get one or would have a legal right to it? Also, be aware that member countries can exclude their territory from the Schengen visa.Eric-Poole wrote:Let's assume that you are French, you should apply for your Spouse Visa at the French Consulate in London.

Cool! Congratulationsjhbmike wrote:My wife is Latvian, we live in Ireland and I got 1 year shengen visa free of charge at the Latvian embassy in Dublin.

Sorry what? Two people here reported that from their very own experience they wouldn't get what the OP said they would and you think that the OP is "totally correct"? And once again: The embassies are not legally obliged to do so! But if you know the procedures of all the 25 Schengen states in all of their embassies better than the rest of us then please enlighten us with reference to the source of your information.jhbmike wrote:It is totally correct what the initial poster wrote.
Exactly. How long (and in other cases even if) you get a visa for is at the discretion of the embassy.ca.funke wrote:However, for all of the above reasons I wonder what should have guaranteed my wife a 1-year visa? At some point we were issued with a visa valid for 4 days(!), as we wanted to visit a friend over a weekend.

EDIT: The OP's information is also incorrect because some embassies here in the UK wouldn't bother issuing visa to residence card holders (some embassies even require legal residence in the UK). This includes the Latvian embassy BTW.
