It's for an Indian citizen who holds ILR, lives in the UK and is a long-standing spouse of a British passport holder. They intend travelling together to Spain in August.
It must seem fairly simple to you guys, but I'm having trouble finding information on this. Searching on the forums I couldn't easily find any thread about a non-EU citizen getting a Schengen visa. Looking in Google I find information about the Schengen visa and various references to "New Rules" but can't find how to get the visa from the Spanish authorities (except that he needs to apply at London rather than Manchester). The top searches in Google lead me to agents' sites that say he should phone the Spanish embassy in London for an appointment. It's a premium rate number (09065540714) but when called there's a Cablecom message saying the number is no longer in operation. And the Spanish consulate website isn't any help either!
Any tips on how to go about getting this visa for a one week visit? And any info on these "New Rules" and how they would affect this case? In fact, if the Schengen visa works across multiple countries and is issued by multiple countries is it easier to get it from somewhere other than the Spanish embassy (French, German or some other) and use it to go to Spain? The cost is not the issue as much as the convenience and not having to attend in person.
Thanks in advance.
