Whatever you do, at least do set foot in Germany!yowtran wrote:Hello
The German Consular allows postal applications for spouses so would be easier to apply than having to go in person to the Spanish Consular.
If I got a Spouse Schengen Visa from there, would I have to visit Germany first before being allowed entry to other countries or can I just go straight to any other Schengen country?
Thanks
Yow
Have they ever refused to issue another visa to a spouse of an EU citizen?86ti wrote:Schengen rules say that you have to apply either to the country of main destination (longest stay) or if this cannot be determined you should apply to the country of first entry. Some embassies check that very carefully when you apply to them next time, e.g. France, and may refuse to issue another visa.
I think yes but we would have to work through some of the threads to be sure. I hope somebody else can help out here.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Have they ever refused to issue another visa to a spouse of an EU citizen?86ti wrote:Schengen rules say that you have to apply either to the country of main destination (longest stay) or if this cannot be determined you should apply to the country of first entry.

According to the rules you´re not supposed to apply with the Germans. Thus you have to at least tell them that you intend to go there.yowtran wrote:...The German Consular allows postal applications for spouses so would be easier to apply than having to go in person to the Spanish Consular...
You´re the Spouse of an EU or EFTA citizen? Why apply for a visa at all? See >>here<< and >>here<<.yowtran wrote:If I got a Spouse Schengen Visa from there...
Well, you could just use your favourite search engine, e.g. http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=schengen%20visayowtran wrote:What does the Schengen visa look like? Does it state where it is issued and does it differ from Consular to Consular?
The German embassy in London allows family of EU citizens who have had a visa in the past year to apply by post. Very efficient and German :-) I would never apply anywhere else...ca.funke wrote:Last but not least a question to you: Where do you live that the Germans allow postal applications?
In the absence of entry and exit stamps: (flight, train, coach, ferry) Boarding passes; bank statements showing transactions in the relevant schengen country would suffice.Wanderer wrote: Which begs another issue - always get stamped! EU IO's will most likely not bother but then u have no proof you've been there and abided by the Schengen visa spirit!
