Schenegen Visa

[Arthur Little]

Yes ... unfortunately you WILL need to obtain a Schengen Visa, since you haven't yet acquired British Citizenship.

Tbh ... it can be a bit of a hassle ... but, at least it's issued free of charge to the married partners of British Citizens.

Further information may be had by using the 'Search' facility - in the rectangular box located at the extreme RIGHT of the bluish coloured bar running along the top of this page and typing in the words "Schengen Visa" accordingly - as suggested by Sars.

...I'm going to apply British Citizenship by June 2013 but I can't wait for that I need holiday....

... fair enough, but ...

... It will take some time to secure approval of the application. Next step is to attend the Citizenship Ceremony.
Following that you would need to apply for British passport, then attend the passport interview.
Everything takes time and money these days
With luck on your side you could expect that holiday August/September

Good luck.

PS Even applications for a Schenghen visa can take time and cause stresses.

Thank you Terpe I really appreciate all the help in this forum and hopefully I can get british passport before November so we can book our flight early back to PI... Can't wait..

... ...well, it's entirely your choice. But ... as I've ALSO already pointed out ... it can be a bit of a hassle and, for the sake of a few months, surely it's worth waiting a little longer.

Besides, holidays in European countries don't come cheap - in spite of there being no charge for the Schengen Visa itself - and you would want to have adequate spending money while abroad.

Let's face it, you'll have to lay aside sufficient funds to cover the price involved [roughly £1,000] in applying for Citizenship.
