Thai Gf And I To Visit Uk And Attend Wedding In Italy

[iainiain101]

History - been living the last 7 months together in Chiang Mai, been together over 3 years, we have a 1 1/2 year old child (UK and Thai Passport) and the GF has had two previous UK VV for which she complied fully with the terms.

We would now like to go back to the UK for a month or so, during which visit we would like to make a trip to Italy for a wedding.

As I see it she will first need a UK VV, hence trip from Chiang Mai to Bangkok (for 3rd time!), passport can then be returned by post. She will this time apply for the 2 year VV to save on these trips.

Assuming no problems with the UK VV, she will then need a Schengen visa for Italy.

Am I right in assuming this needs an appointment at the Italian Embassy, or can it be done by post? (trying to avoid yet another trip to Bangkok)

How long will it take?

Is there a Schengen country that will accept postal applications in Thailand?

Is there a Schengen country to which she could make the application in Chiang Mai?

Thanks for any help. Time is critical to us as the wedding is in mid September.

It would be the Italian Embassy in Bangkok insert the wedding invite with the application.
