Hello. I am a UK citizen and have a Russian wife who has been living with me here in the UK for 15 months. We would like to visit Spain in September but my wife has been told quite definitively by a Russian friend that she cannot apply for the Spanish schengen visa for travel in September as she ...
Once again thanks for giving up time on a Sunday to reply to this for me! Yes that is my view about Germany too. This site would imply that she does not need visa to transite through Germany http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/EN/Infoservice/FAQ/VisumFuerD/05-Transit.html?nn=479790. However German ...

The benefits system and "recourse to public funds" issue which my Russian wife has on her vias are proving very complicated and hard to fathom. I am a self-employed UK National and my wife came over to live here last year. Because ...

My Russian wife is on the 2 year spouse visa? Why ...
