Hi Nnomad, the general visa is not too complicated all you have to do is supply plenty of information, as far as the itinery is concerned all you need to do is visit your local tourist information centre and obtain a copy of their guide to the area, submit this with a letter to say these are some of the places you will be visiting, you do not need to detail hotel bookings etc, however you do need to build a complete picture of your relationship, and supply all the relevent information, my g/f has just been granted a six month general visa, it is possible,,,,, best of luck.
