EU travel on a UK Tourist Visa

[Englishman2010]

Just wondered if it is possible for my Filipina g/f to travel with me around EU member states if she is granted a UK tourist visa? Or would she have to apply to each individual member state for a Tourist Visa despite having one for the UK?

No - she will need a Schengen visa to cover the countries that are part of that agreement and individual visas if required for the other countries

If she were your WIFE [but NOT fiancee] she'd have been able to avail herself of a Schengen Visa free of charge at one or other of the Consulates nearest to your home. But non-spousal applicants are charged around (I believe) £50-odd.

Thanks for the info, very useful to know. Need to get the UK Tourist Visa first, which I dare say won't be easy.
