Travel To Schengen County From Non Schengen Country

[fandango67]

Hello everyone,

I don't want to sound stupid, but in relation to my recent posting - my GF has got a UK visitor visa, and will be flying over to UK approx beginning of July. I intend to visit family in Greece with her in September (ish) and realise that she needs a Schengen visa. I realise that she should go to Greek enbassy in BKK and try to get one, 'time permitting', if not maybe we can try from UK and see what happens. Not the end of the world if I don't go to greece.

But my question is this. If she applies for schengen visa from BKK, does it matter if she flies to schengen country from NON schengen country (UK), or would the schengen visa be expecting her to travelly from the country the schengen visa was originally authorised in.. ie Thailand...?

Basically, could she travelt to greece on a schengen visa from the UK where she has a valid visitor visa...?

Cheers

Well, all does not seem to be as it appeared. Mareya came over for one week to the UK then said shehad to go back to help her sister with a baby in JaPAN.

Basically, she never got there and now is in BKK where he phone wen dead whilst she was 'thinking abut our releationship' She said she'd like to come back, but now it appears she is muslim so says she would have to go back for ramadam, so in reality, this whole thing has been a waste of my f**king time.

Is this kind of behaviour typical. She says she loves me but I am n ot persuing her too mmuch so she's doing a little bit ogfchasing, I am just wondering if the worst thing I could do right now would be to have her back.

Hi,

NOW it appears she is Muslim? Why did she not mention this before? Not that it should be a problem but having a serious relationship with a non Muslim ( which presumably it was?) is not accepted as a light hearted matter within the Muslim community so her commitment to the faith seems to me to be less than what one would expect.

She tells you that she would have to go back to celebrate Ramadam if she comes to stay with you in the uk?

Do you really think that Muslims dont celebrate Ramadam in the UK?

Had to cut short her trip with you to go to Japan to help her sister with her baby but didnt go to Japan?

I may be in error but I suspect you paid her airfare to visit you in the uk?

How long had you both arranged/agreed for her to stay with you?

Who paid for her visa fee ?

It seems reasonable to ask if it was possible that she was just seeking the uk visa in her passport in order to make life easier when she applied for visa's to other countries in the future.

It is posssible, but I hope that you were not asked to pay for the tickets to Japan for her?

I do know that Japan is fairly strict in granting visas to young single thai ladies these days, the fact that she has obtained and complied with the requirments of her uk visa may now well stand her in good stead with other visa applications for other countries.

Presumably as you were both (??) intending to travel to Greece she had a multi entry visa to enter the uk?

From your posting it is clear that you are no longer committed to this lady and it is equally clear to me that she has been less than transparent/trustworthy in her dealing's with you.

I think you have already reached the decision that she is going to detract rather than enhance the quality of your future life, and I also think that is a fair asessment of the situation.

This relationship is doomed to fail, all you have to decide is do you stop wasting your time effort and finances on her now or later when your emotional and mental health and financial resources have suffered a major battering and all that would entail?

As Moss said. " Oh Dear"..........
