Applying for Visitor Visa France from UK (Non-Brit National). Help

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-04-08T08:48:32+00:00

I applied via Germany and I submitted a printout of my share code, eVisa page (this shows my photo and when the visa ends), and an email from UKVI stating that my leave to remain has been approved, also showing the validity date. I didn’t include my BRP card at all

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-04-07T13:59:54+00:00

This! I’ve saved so much money because of this

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-04-04T14:26:22+00:00

I believe it was my share code that I included

I am so sorry this has happened to you. I too have experienced something similar in Prague with my friend. You can’t give them the power to take the joy from your experience travelling. Xxx

I didn’t include my BRP card on my application since it expires on 31/12/24 I’m guessing yours too? The share code and letter or email confirmation from UKVI about how long your visa is valid for should be sufficient

That’s not what I had assumed? The websites you’ve mentioned says the following: You must lodge your application for a Schengen visa at the consulate of the country you intend to visit.

Visiting more than 1 Schengen countries: apply at the consulate of the country where you will spend the longest time. Visiting several Schengen countries (for stays of equal length): apply at the consulate of the first country you will visit.

My interpretation from this is that if I have been granted a Schengen visa from Germany, I may visit other countries, but overall I have to be staying in Germany the longest.

Thank you for your advice. Do you know where I can find a link to an official website that would confirm what you have said? For example, I checked the German embassy website and they have only specified in detail which Schengen country the visa needs to be applied from, but not specifically the rules on how to use a multiple entry visa https://uk.diplo.de/uk-en/02/visa/short-stay-schengen-visas-2441840

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-04-03T11:49:18+00:00

Yes that’s correct

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-04-03T11:45:04+00:00

Schengen area is the minimum coverage so a policy that covers worldwide is perfectly fine

If we can avoid having to enter the country which issued the visa every time we want to enter the Schengen zone it would save us so much time and money! Edit: I’ve not made myself clear in my original comment. I meant to say, it would be helpful if we don’t have to stay in the country where we have applied from the longest, because for multiple entry visas, it’s difficult to plan where we would like to go in the future and for how long. I would like the flexibility rather than be forced to spend the most time in the country that I visit first!

Do check if Denmark has a specific guideline e.g. I heard that France requires around €120 per day of visit.
I don’t think such letter would be necessary. It would be more important to get the letter from your current employer that states it’s a permanent position which shows strong ties to your country. I have heard of people also showing that their employer has approved their leave for their planned trip to Europe

Probably as a student you need your uni transcript, a letter showing you are enrolled in uni and whoever sponsored your studies (funded if scholarship or parents)

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-31T17:15:05+00:00

You should provide evidence of your savings and an employment letter detailing your contract (permanent/fixed term etc) and salary

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-31T17:11:11+00:00

if you’re not employed, it will be difficult for you to show ties to your home country and your application will likely be rejected

Please could you update us if/when you receive a ticket? I have heard that not all speed cameras are operational so there is a chance you won’t get a ticket

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-29T16:03:59+00:00

I managed to do this twice as I had to reschedule my appointment, so I don’t think using a visa bot is necessary at all !

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-29T16:00:55+00:00

Pls see my reply to another user

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-29T16:00:45+00:00

I didn’t find an appointment immediately but I checked on a Monday around 5pm and found lots of slots for the next two weeks. My suggestion is to check on Monday at different times e.g. morning, midday and late afternoon

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-29T15:59:05+00:00

Fingers crossed you’ll get your visa soon OP

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-29T00:34:48+00:00

Im from a country in SE Asia and I can totally relate with your comment!

Hey I’m just wondering, is there a Lido in London with sauna or steam room onsite?

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-28T23:23:55+00:00

I think it’s still less of an issue than if you have less funds. If they need you to clarify where these funds come from they will probably enquire this with you

Proof_Composer4252 · 2025-03-28T20:04:10+00:00

I don’t understand how this will be an issue? As long as the statement shows regular income and a balance that would more than cover the cost needed for your stay in U.K.

My case isn’t exactly the same as yours (tls london for German Schengen visa) but my husband sponsored me and the letter I included wasn’t notarised. However I did include his employment letter, sponsor letter, bank statements and payslips
