[quote="waitinggame52"]hi,

which eu country consulate in the UK issues the longest multi entry schengen visa for a non eu wife of a british citizen ?[/quote]


I am not very sure on this, but whether you apply with London or Edinburgh, its mentioned that if you have a longer travel insurance you are most likely to get a longer multi entry visa.

Hi..
This is so confusing..

My husband (UK citizen) and I (Indian citizen, but with UK residence permit for 2 years) want to travel to Paris for 5 days for our wedding anniversary. I dont know if i should apply for a visa in advance or can I get a visa at the border?

We are planning a trip by Eurostar. We were married in the UK so we have the marriage certificate in English.

How do I go about this? My residence permit mentions nothing about "Family member of EEA national" it just says Spouse/ Partner AND Residence permit on it.

Apply for a free Schengen visa or be prepared for a fight and a ruined wedding anniversary.

where do i apply for the free visa? the french embassy when i called them transferred me to a private company that charges £55 for administrative costs and then the application fee for the visa at £60.

From the French embassy. Make clear that you are applying for a Schengen visa as the family member of a UK national. It's free and must be issued ASAP.

Thanks will try again!

You do not have to use this private company if you don't want to but you will have to make an appointment with the embassy through them. There's more information on that on their web page. All you should need to do is to fill out the Schengen application form ignoring all starred fields and include also passport from the EEA national and the marriage certificate (I think they want to have copies too).
