I have an Indian Passport and am currently working in the UK and my work permit is valid for 10 more months.
There's an interesting event happening in Barcelona, Spain in the last week of October, and I'd like to apply for a tourist visa to attend the same.
However, my problem is that I have been working in the UK since over a month, and the
Schengen Visa Website (https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/spain-visa/uk/) mentions that a non-EU citizens who have been staying in the UK for a minimum of 3 months should apply.
On the other hand, I have heard that they do make exceptions to this if it is clearly specified in the application.
I will have completed 3 months in the UK before my intended date of travel to Spain, however, I will have to start the application process much before that.
My question:
- Should I apply for a Visa before I complete 3 months in the UK?
- Should I wait and cancel my plans?
Any help/advise is appreciated.
Cheers!
