i believe you can apply, though you stand more chance of being granted the visa if you apply from the country where you are resident.peacherrybloss wrote:hi,

thank you.
Applies to EU citizens exercising a treaty right by living/working/studying in another EU state other than their own, or is a dual national with two EU citizenships.peacherrybloss wrote:Thank you for your responses.
Hi Wanderer, after reading about the directive I understood it to mean that non EU nationals can travel with their EU family members around EU countries. From your response I have obviously misunderstood. To whom is the directive applicable to then..married partners only?
You need to say a little more about yourself.peacherrybloss wrote:if i am on a uk visit visa, can i apply for a schengen visa while in the uk?

If peacherrybloss is a family member (§ 2(2) of the Directive) of a UK national and wishes to accompany that UK national to travel to a another Member State, § 5(2) of the Directive states that the Member State must issue a visa to peacherrybloss free of charge, as soon as possible and on the basis of an accelerated procedure.
This is not dependent on peacherrybloss being lawfully resident in the UK.
I've just checked the websites of a few (german, french, dutch, polish) embassies in the UK, and they all now seem to state that you need a valid Residence Permit for the UK to apply there. I'm sure this never used to be the case.peacherrybloss wrote:Hi Ben,Ben wrote:Hang on lads..

How would I apply for a visa on an accelerated basis. Are the embassies aware of this or would I need to show them where you've quoted this info from.
thank you.
