[Jonnywina]

Hello..Me and my wife are panning to go for a holiday in Tenerife or Grand Canary. Does my wife need a visa for that? and if so, what kind of Visa do we need? She currently have a Spouse Visa.

Help is much Appreciated

Thank you

She needs to apply via the Spanish Embassy (in London) for a Schengen visa.
Get the multiple entry one, which will allow her to travel to other Schengen countries during its 6mnth life-span

does my wife need to go in person or can we mail it? Any website where i can get some info?

From my reading, looks like you need to turn up in person .... consulate offices in London & Madchester.

.... and I note that they're using VFS to process them, hence a £52.80 fee !

(Go to Paris .... French visas are FREE ! )

The visa fee (£52.80) is exempt for EU spouses BUT there is a £24 service charge per application when using VFS.
