Schengen Visa

[darren-b]

questions 1 and 2 are easy. You do not need to apply for a uk visa first.

thanks!

"the foreign national is not required to take the civic integration
examination abroad as he/she wishes to come to the
Netherlands to stay as a family member with a holder of a
permanent or temporary asylum residence permit, or to stay
with an EU citizen, or to stay for the purpose of visiting family,
adoption, work as an employee (with the exception of work as a
spiritual leader or teacher of religious knowledge), as a selfemployed
person on the basis of an international treaty,
exchange, study, as an au pair, or for the purpose of undergoing
medical treatment. This also applies to the foreign national’s
family members"

I assume from this on the application form that she wouldn't need to do the test....? Anyone know for sure?

Darren, since I can see you're clearly knowledgeable on visa issues, I wonder if I might "pick your brains" as to the precise documents Myrna & I would require to bring with us if we were to present ourselves at the French Consulate in person. We're still contemplating treating ourselves to a belated honeymoon in Paris, and there's a consular office in Edinburgh ... which is only 44 miles from Perth. I'd tried phoning them some time ago but, pleasant as the lady who answered sounded, the difficulty I had in following her native accent [despite the fact that she spoke in English] was compounded by the fact that I have hearing problems ...

The only things we've ever taken is the completed application form (obviously....), both our passports, our marriage certificate, and details of travel insurance. The travel insurance I don't actually believe is mandatory, but they are definately happier if you have it.

Much obliged; thanks, Darren.
