21 Cromwell Road, SW7 2EN

Schengen Visas are issued FREE of charge to married partners of British Citizens. Any intermediary who tried to impose a fee would, I'm fairly sure, be doing so unlawfully. Myrna and I have made use of both the French & Italian Consulates ... (in Scotland, most of the overseas consulates have offices in Edinburgh) whereas - from what I've seen on the internet - all English applicants seem to need to need to travel to London.
thats right Arthur i should not pay at all but try getting in touch with the embassy, indeed any embassy for that matter, most seem to tender all this sort of work out
