The European Comission has published a press release on this subject.
https://ec.europa.eu/commission/pressco ... nda_20_149
It says
“Multiple-entry visas with long validity (from 1 to 5 years) are now easier to obtain, saving frequent travellers time and money, as they will have to apply for a new visa less often;“
And
“Frequent travellers with a positive visa history are to be granted multiple-entry visa with a gradually increasing validity period from 1 year to a maximum of 5 years.
Travellers' fulfilment of entry conditions will be thoroughly and repeatedly verified in all cases, and only persons with a positive visa track record will be issued multiple-entry visas with a long validity.“
This sounds good but is pretty vague, does anyone know what it means?
My wife is exactly the kind of person they describe, but unfortunately they always refuse to give her long term visa because they have an arbitrary rule that visa expires no later than 3 months before her BRP (her next visa will be 6 months at best if they keep this rule, and she will be unable to get a visa at all in the last three months of her BRP).
Is it possible that this requirement has been removed?
