letter from JobCentre for unemployed applying Schengen visa

[redbuta]

Dear all,

My wife and I are planning to visit Spain together this September.

We are both UK permanent residents (ILR). However, my wife is a full time housewife at the moment hence she is unemployed.

I found in the document requirements, it is stated that for unemployed, she need a JobCentre letter showing she has JSA(job seeker allowance) from DSS.

However, it will take at least 6 weeks even if she is eligible (she might just has a little bit more the 16K limit in bank) to apply for the JSA.

Is there any alternative documents that will help her application?

She now has ILR, can she still apply the Schengen tourist visa as my dependent using a marriage certificate and its translation?

Many thanks in advance!

If you have sufficient funds for a family holiday this should not be an issue. There is no need for spouses to have independent income of each other.
