Having got a UK visa - Macau residents, me Brit National her Pinay, very quickly went on for Schengen. Required application in Hong Kong ( call it £50) and then return with day off work to receive refusal - in her case at least £250 based on lost earnings as a Physio. They still called her back all the way to HK for a refusal. TOTALLY NUTZOriginally Posted by Donutz
She was even required to pay visa fee despite filing 34 and 35 as family - should be no fee for family of EU National
To my astonishment she got turned down today on
1. Justification for the purpose of the intended stay. Insane... they had a support affidavit from a family member stating accompanying said family member to the worlds biggest media exposition - MIPCOM.... Perhaps they didn't read it or lost it! Just sent it back translated in French. LOL
2. No adequate travel insurance
The first one is incompetent/lost paperwork.... the second one is just wrong. Have you got a clear link that says only on Visa approval.
This is what the affidavit says;
"I vouch that Ms. xxxx" will travel covered by a comprehensive travel insurance package that fully complies with the Visa application terms. The insurance package will be purchased simultaneously with airline bookings once the outcome of this visa application is known.
I have gone through all the EU documentation for at least 4 hours - and am even more angry than when I started LOL
Thanks for all the help over the years. If anyone needs templates for complaint letters PM. I owe some back.
