Thats interesting.

I live in Spain and I thought, as of earlier this year, all Schengen Area countries were issuing the 'family re--unification' visa.

I know Spain changed to this around April/May, previously they issued a 90 day tourist visa with a certificate that the person could travel on a one way ticket and without travel insurance (otherwise they would not have been allowed to leave Phil). With the new type of visa there is now no problem.MHG
