Minors are individuals under the age of 18 when submitting a Schengen visa application, including those applying for a Tourist, Visitor Family/Friends, EEA/EU and Swiss national family member, or Airport Transit visa.
Therefore, each minor must provide the following additional documents:

  1. Child’s unabridged/full birth certificate displaying the names of both biological parents.
  2. Written consent (signed and dated) from both mother and father as mentioned on the child’s birth certificate.
  3. Copy of both parents’ passport bio page and signature page, if the signature is not on the bio page.
  4. In the case of divorce or the death of one parent, a court order confirming sole custody or the deceased parent’s certificate, respectively.
  5. If a guardian has been appointed by the parents, a guardianship letter along with the guardian’s passport bio page and signature page, if the signature is not on the bio page.

It is important to emphasize that due to European legislation regarding the protection of children/minors, minors who fail to provide all the required documents may not be granted a Schengen visa.

The applicable visa fee for minors varies across three age groups:

  1. Minors under 6 years old: No fee
  2. Minors aged 6 to 11 years old: Reduced visa fee
  3. Minors aged 12 years old and above: Full visa fee

Eligibility:

To be eligible to submit a Schengen visa application, the applicant 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, EEA/EU and Swiss national family members, or airport transit.

UK travel documents:

If you hold a refugee travel document (1951 Convention travel document) or a travel document for stateless persons (1954 Convention travel document) and you are a national of a country that requires a visa when traveling to the Schengen area, you must apply for a visa before traveling to Iceland.

Application Form

Applicants must diligently fill out the application form as outlined below:

Schengen visa application form

Complete all mandatory fields on the visa application form, which are marked with a red star (*).

Please ensure that all sections of the application form are accurately and comprehensively filled out.

Processing time

Applicants are welcome to submit their Schengen visa application up to six months prior to their intended travel date to the Schengen Area. It is important to note that the minimum processing time for a visa application is 15 days. Therefore, it is highly recommended that applicants allow sufficient time between their appointment date and travel date for the Mission to process their visa application. Please be aware 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 the other Schengen countries, which may result in a longer processing time. To avoid any delays in the visa application process, it is crucial that the application is complete, and all submitted documents meet the requirements set by the Mission. Please refer to the “Documents Required” section for specific visa categories.

Applicants should also take into consideration that during peak seasons such as Easter, summer holidays (July and August), and Christmas, appointment slots are quickly filled as the Mission can only process a limited number of visa applications per day. Additionally, please be mindful of Mission closures and holidays, as they may extend the processing time.

Therefore, we strongly recommend the following to all applicants:

  1. Book your appointment as soon as your travel plans are confirmed.
  2. Ensure that your visa application documentation meets the requirements specified by the Mission.
  3. Allow sufficient processing time for the Mission to review your application thoroughly.

Applicants submitting their visa application at our satellite center in Edinburgh should consider adding an additional two days to the minimum processing time. This is because the application will first be dispatched to the London office before being forwarded to the Mission in London the following day.

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.
