A friend has asked me to help complete his Thai wife application form and a have a few questions

 

1. Thai is married to an EU citizen therefore can opt for the short form i.e. Less information required. Does she still need to make an appointment to submit the application with the German Embassy in BKK ? Or can she just turn up? She has had schengen visas in the past

 

2. Flight reservation can be done easily but does she need to have the medical insurance in place at the time of applying for the visa?

 

I have read conflicting information regarding the above many because the process appears different if you are married to an EU citizen (within the Schengen area)

 

Thanks for your help

1 - Providing that the EU National isn't German then yes she can supply less information on the form, the form is the same but not all questions need to be answered for spouses and close family members of EU Nationals. She will need to make an appointment to submit the visa application.
 

2 - No, evidence of travel insurance isn't required for those exercising the right of free movement, though it's obviously recommended.

 

The right of free movement applies to all in the EU, not just those in Schengen.

In which case she'll need to make a full application, including flights, accommodation for the duration of the trip, proof of finance and insurance.
