Description

All applicants, including children and infants, must personally submit their Schengen visa application on their scheduled appointment date.
For non-EU citizens who are unsure about whether a Schengen visa is required for travel to the Schengen Area, please click on Do I need a visa? to obtain the necessary information.

Family members of EEA/EU and Swiss nationals are eligible to apply for a Schengen visa as a family member of an EEA/EU or Swiss national. This entitles them to submit fewer documents than regular tourists and exempts them from paying the applicable visa fee, provided they are traveling together with their EEA/EU or Swiss national family member. The following family members are included in this category:

– Spouse
– Parent(s) (if they are supporting and cohabiting with an EEA/EU or Swiss national family member who is younger than 21 years old, or if they are an elderly person depending and cohabiting with an EEA/EU or Swiss national family member)
– Child(ren) (if they are younger than 21 years old)
– Registered partner

Any applicant who is traveling without their EEA/EU or Swiss national family member cannot apply as a family member and must apply as a tourist. This means providing all the required documents and paying the applicable visa fee.

 

Eligibility:

To be eligible to submit a Schengen visa application, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  1. Possess a valid passport or travel document.
  2. Hold a valid UK residence permit. If the applicant holds a short stay visa for the UK (C type visa), they must apply for a Schengen visa from their country of residence.
  3. Apply for a short stay visa for purposes such as tourism (including minors), visiting family or friends, business, being a family member of an EEA/EU or Swiss national, or airport transit.

Please note that meeting these criteria is essential for the successful submission of a Schengen visa application.

Changes to the application submission rules are as follows:

  1. If an application is submitted before 30.11.2019 for a trip that starts and ends before 30.11.2019, the current rules for family members of EU nationals under directive 2004/38/ES apply.

    Revisions to Visa Regulations for Non-EU Family Members of British Nationals

Visas granted to non-EU family members of British nationals, based on the criteria applicable to family members of EU citizens, will continue to be valid post the exit date. Nevertheless, it is important to note that border officers may, following the exit date, request the submission of specific documents as outlined in article 14 and article 15 of the Visa code. Failure to provide satisfactory evidence of meeting the required conditions at the border may result in entry refusal and subsequent revocation of the visa.

We would like to emphasize that the aforementioned changes aim to ensure compliance with updated regulations and maintain the integrity of the visa process. It is crucial for non-EU family members of British nationals to be aware of these modifications and be prepared to provide the necessary documentation upon request. By adhering to these procedures, individuals can avoid any potential complications or disruptions to their travel plans.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work together to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the integrity of our visa system.

Processing Time

Applicants are advised to submit their Schengen visa application up to 6 months prior to their intended travel date to the Schengen Area.

The minimum processing time for a visa application is 2 weeks. It is crucial for applicants to allow sufficient time between their appointment date and travel date for the Mission to process their visa application. However, please note that delays may occur, and we cannot guarantee the exact return date of the visa application.

For certain nationalities, the visa application requires consultation from other Schengen countries, resulting in a minimum processing time of 3 weeks.

To avoid any delays in the visa application process, it is of utmost importance that the application is complete, and all submitted documents meet the requirements set by the Mission. Please refer to the “Documents Required” section for the specific visa category.

Applicants should also be aware that during peak seasons such as Easter, Summer holidays (July and September), and Christmas, appointment slots are quickly filled as the Mission can only process a limited number of visa applications per day.

Additionally, applicants need to consider the closures and holidays of Mission (refer to the “Public Holidays/Closures” section), as these may extend the processing time of the visa application.

Therefore, we strongly recommend the following to all applicants:

– Book your appointment as soon as your travel plans are confirmed.
– Ensure that your visa application documentation meets the requirements set by the Mission.
– Allow sufficient processing time for the Mission, taking into account the factors mentioned above.

During the visa application process, the Mission reserves the right to request additional information or documents, as well as invite applicants for an interview. It is important to note that these requests or interviews may potentially lead to delays in the visa process. Applicants are kindly reminded to accept responsibility for any such delays that may occur.
