Schengen Visa

[Enquirer77]

Following our imminent marriage, my fiancée and I want to go to Europe for our honeymoon (possibly Greece). I am a Britich citizen and my fiancée is a Ukranian citizen. From what I've read on other posts on this website & (EC) No 539/2001, my future wife will need a Schengen visa to be able to travel freely (to Schengen countries).

My question is, can she have a Schengen visa whilst she's still on her 6 month fiancé visa by providing a copy of our marriage certificate and both our passports to the embassy of the country we intent to visit? As we wish to travel on our honeymoon straight after our marriage there won't be time to apply for her 2-year Spouse visa before travelling.

Judging by some posts in the Euro section ur wives visa will have expired by the time u get an appointment!

You don't actually need a visa for her under EU laws, but the plebs on the desks don't know the rules. Seek and ye shall find via the search button.

Yes, they should not be interested in her UK visa, only in the fact that she is travelling with her EU spouse.

However I recall reading some comments about the UK authorities not being keen on people continuing to use a Fiancé/Proposed Civil Partner Visa once they are married - so when you get back from honeymoon you may get a bit of a grilling on re-entry.
