Schengen Visa for the Filipina wife

[mesmo]

You'll need to contact the Turkish Embassy/Consulate to establish your Fiancee's Visa requirements.

Turkey is not a member of the Schengen Zone.
Your Fiancee has a UKVI temporary visa for 6 months max. Even for a Schengen Visa she is unable to apply whilst in UK with a visa of less than 6 months.

She could however, have applied whilst still in Philippines.

Thank you Terpe.

We have to go to London later this week so will try and get in there to ask their advice

OK! After a round of phone calls I think I have this sussed now!!

It seems that Merlyn can travel on her Fiancée visa to Turkey as this is a recognised and VALID OECD member state visa. There is no restriction on how long the Fiancee visa has after the holiday, as long as we return before it expires and then the more common requirements of having a return air ticket a hotel reservation and $50 spending money for each day she is there.

I am just emailing them just to confirm this in writing
