RAZZELL Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 The sister-in-law wants to come and visit us in the UK. I take it we use form VAF1-B for a family visit visa? Any idea what the wait times are at the moment? Many thanks RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Oh...and is it better for my wife to write the "sponsors" letter? RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Right she got the visa today What European country is the quickest/easiest to get a schengen? Could she get one in 3 weeks? RAZZ Edited May 10, 2012 by RAZZELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigirllondon Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 German embassy, I have had maybe 11 now. 3 days quickest, 6 longest. Have fun . Munich is my favourite, then AMsterdam and then Paris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Did you apply in Bangkok? RAZZ Edited May 10, 2012 by RAZZELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 You have to apply in your country of residence. From her nic, and her other posts, I would guess that thaigirllondon lives in London and if so she would have applied in London. If your sister-in-law lives in Thailand then she will need to apply in Bangkok. BTW, glad she got her UK visa, and apols for not replying to your questions about that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) I pm'd thaigirllondon and she's used the German embassy in Bangkok, Dubai and London. Pleased we got the visa - only took 7 or 8 working days Might try for a German schengen. RAZZ Edited May 11, 2012 by RAZZELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 (edited) For a schengen I see she need's health/travel insurance to the value of €30,000. List of insurance companies: https://www.tlsconta...e_th_2fr.en.pdf After a quick look I found the BUPA rates. Are they competitive? http://www.bupa.co.t...el/en/home.aspx http://www.bupa.co.t...l_PriceList.pdf Axa - but only for 90 days? http://www.axa.co.th...ttraveller-plus Mondial: http://www.worldcare.co.th/en RAZZ Edited May 13, 2012 by RAZZELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigirllondon Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I goy my insuarnce for time from the www.moneysupermarket.com , think it was about 100 USD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 Maybe in the UK etc...but applying for a Schengen in Thailand you have to be on the approved list of insurance companies... https://www.tlscontact.com/th2fr/upload/travel_health_insurance_th_2fr.en.pdf RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigirllondon Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 That seems silly. Insurance from a multinational insurance company covers all countries, who cares where it is bought from? I will check tonight about where I got insurance when I applied in Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list provided by RAZZELL is up to date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaigirllondon Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hi Razzel I just checked through all old applications forms and docs (I am a horder ) and I submitted, at one time, my company health and security insurance which also covers overseas travel healthcare and security emergencies (because of my past job's nature). It was issued by Zurich insurance. Later I did indeed source insuarance, on another trip, from moneysupermarket but I cannot find that doc. Seems to go against the advice BUT it was not questioned. I am unsure why perhaps because I am the frequent traveller and a passport only lasts me maybe 2-3 years due to all the stamps. Strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Requirements etc. change and are updated. Better to go with the latest official list rather than what someone did a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZZELL Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 The wife got a very helpful email from someone at BUPA. BUPA gold Plus 7,495 baht - It's multi-trip and valid for 6 months, Schengen applications and also in the UK. RAZZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
