Schengen Visa

[Arthur Little]

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

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.

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.
