Shengen Visa

[jay-uk]

Hi To All

My wife's mother is staying with us in UK for 6 months on a family visitor visa. We were thinking of taking the family over to Spain or Portugal for a few weeks holiday including the Mother-In-Law and wanted to know if it is possible to get a shengen visa for her to come with us. If anyone has any info: it would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello Jay-uk,

You have not told us whether your wife's mother is in the UK or still in Thailand at present. If she is already in the Uk, the best thing would be to contact the Spanish Embassy in London. You may be able to telephone them or send them an e-mail and ask them for help. They may say to you that she should have applied in Thailand. You can then explain that the idea only came up since she has arrived in the UK.

If your wife's mother is still in Thailand at present, she should submit an application with the Spanish Embassy in Bangkok. You/she will likely have to provide the required evidence of why she wishes to go to Spain. Although that seems obvious to us, the Embassy may not see it that way.

In my personal opinion I think you stand a better chance of success by applying whilst she is in the UK.

Although this is not the complete answer, I hope it helps.

Good Luck,

FRM-UK now Bangkok.

Has anyone at TV been to the Portugese embassy for a Schengen Visa? Hoping to go to Portugal in October for a family holiday, so I will be taking my wife to get one next time I'm home.
