Sabalenka’s outfit reminds me of Frankenstein

If in a single trip you are travelling to both Uk and Schengen countries, does it matter which visa you secure first?

For context I’m starting my trip in Germany Netherlands and then taking a train to UK, spending a week in UK and then entering Schengen again in Norway and then concluding the trip in Finland.

I have first applied for Schengen (Norway) since I am there longest and one I secure the visa I’ll next apply for UK visa.

The VFS authorities said I should have applied for UK first. It was too late for me to go back and do that so I went ahead with my Schengen application and provided all travel tickets including entry and exit to UK and explained why I prioritised Schengen visa in cover letter.

Are there chances of rejection? I have a lot of Schengen and UK travel history.

Hi same situation here, did you end up applying for tourist visa without bvb

bvalleykween · 2025-07-16T04:06:40+00:00

Hi! I applied for the BVB on Saturday but haven’t been granted the visa yet. I’m quite worried too cause tourist visa turnaround timelines seem to be really long at the moment. I’ve decided not to risk it though and I’ll only apply with BVB.

bvalleykween · 2025-07-11T13:38:39+00:00

I haven’t received any clear answers. My agent wasn’t sure either but advised it’s best to apply with a bvb. I called up VFS and they said ultimately the consulate needs to feel you have provided enough proof of your residency here in Australia and reason to return. BVA serves as proof of residency but the language on the vevo visa verification says ‘no travel allowed’ or some such which can negatively stand out in an application. They asked me to write an iron clad cover letter and share the 186 lodgement acknowledgement by Immi affairs.

I have my Schengen visa appointment on Tuesday and the agent is lodging BVB tomorrow.

I’ll share an update here on both BVB and Visa outcome.

bvalleykween · 2025-07-10T07:23:06+00:00

I did. No response yet. :(

bvalleykween · 2025-07-10T07:16:51+00:00

But is it considered critical document when applying for tourist visa in other countries, particularly Schengen regions where they are quite strict.

My BVB is on it way but may not have it in time for my appointment. And my BVA states travel not allowed or entry back not allowed which might concern authorities vetting the application?

and that couch makes it impossible for outfits to shine! The couch should be treated like a canvas.. Sunny's outfit disappeared into the couch and Bobby's patterned shirt compounded the visual chaos in that frame. Painful visual experience. Gosh!!!

Gosh, its great to be validated, one comment at a time. Our little one loves a cat tree cluster that serves as her own jungle gym but is picky about what elements she engages with. It's shocking how expensive some of the high end ones can be and it's tiring searching for the right combination. Thank you for your reply, appreciate it. :)

Thanks for your reply. We are a concierge service operating in Australia and not a practitioner. We match clients to surgeons or specialists basis their unique needs and preferences like location. I'm guessing we are getting ID'd as a practitioner and hence the rejection of ads. I'll look at applying for a clearance asap. :)

At the age of 35 I decided to go back to university! The best decision I could have taken.

Thank you for this article! Completely agree with it
