    What do you think to this - Visa to Visit Schengen Area

    http://es.vfsglobal.co.uk/eea.html

    Would this mean if I wanted to take Rina to Spain she would not need a visa? She has a BRP valid til Feb 2014.

    I've just booked an appointment with VFS - earliest was 11th April!
    Want to take her to the Canaries for a week of sun and relaxation...

    Cheers

    If she's here under FLR at present, that is NOT recognised as a UK residence permit.

    Additionally, this effectively applies to EU citizens now based in the UK eg a German guy with a non-EU wife.

    It doesn't mean UK citizens with a non-EU wife.

    Crazy I know ..... but ......

    You're correct, Marc ... is excluded ... even when the non-EU partner already HAS Permanent Residence [ILR].

    SO only when She has gone through UK citizenship can this apply?

    ... RIGHT on both counts!! It seems the reason this anomaly is down to the British Government's refusal to be signatories to the Schengen Agreement allowing passport-free movement between something like 26 other European countries.
