Getting a Schengen Visa from the UK is very straightforward.
I first applied for my Multiple-Entry Schengen Visa when I still held a spouse visa permit and Philippine passport here in the UK.
I will share with you on how I did the whole application process and requirements for Schengen visa.

What is Schengen Visa?
By the definition given by the European Commission, the Schengen visa is a short stay visitor visa (C visa) needed to travel freely within the Schengen States for 90 days in any 180 days period.
What are the Schengen Visa Countries / States?
The Schengen area comprises 26 countries (“Schengen States”)
These are the Schengen countries:
Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Who needs to apply for Schengen Visa?
The passport holders of Schengen State members are not required to apply for a Schengen visa when travelling within the Schengen countries.
List of the countries who need to apply for Schengen visa.
As for the Airport transfers visa within the Schengen states, the passport holders of these countries would need to secure a Schengen visa to change planes (connecting flights) within the Schengen countries.
Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Congo (Drc), Eritrea, Ethiopia, Ghana, Iran, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia and Sri Lanka
There are a few exemptions to the Schengen visa rules, especially if you are transiting the Schengen states.
If you are a spouse of an EEA/EU citizen, you are still required to apply for a Schengen visa.
However, it will be a lot easier. Just like what I did, when I applied for my multiple entry Schengen visa.
Schengen Visa fees?
The visa fees for the Schengen Short stay visa is €60 (adult) and €35 (child). As for EEA/EU family, the visa application is free.
Requirements for Schengen Visa (Tourist – C Visa)
- Completed Schengen Visa application form. (Download Schengen Application form here)
- One recent passport size photos.
- Current and valid passport. The passport should have at least 3-month validity before your departure.
- Your current UK Visa / Biometric ID. To prove that you have the right to remain in the UK.
- A copy of your flight itinerary. Do not book your flight yet, without a visa. You can print the proposed flight itinerary in any flight booking or airline websites.
UPDATE: I have received a few updates recently that Embassies currently requires the applicants to have a CONFIRMED flight or transportation booking with clearly specifying your name. Please check the respective embassies for their requirements. - A sample suggested travel itinerary. You don’t have to be very detailed, just state the date of your travel and destination. Include in your itinerary your travel dates! As this will be counted as DAY 1.
- Travel insurance is a must whenever you travel. This is one of the important requirements when you apply for Schengen visa. Read the terms of your policy carefully. Make sure that you are covered for any medical and emergency hospitalisation and expatriations back to the UK or your home country.
Looking for a reliable Travel Insurance for your visa application?
8. Proof of your accommodation. Hotel reservations for the whole duration of your trip to the Schengen States.
If a friend or relatives invite you, a formal invitation letter together with their supporting documents are needed.
Booking your accommodation for your Schengen visa application?

9. Money, (of, course). You need to prove that you can sustain your travel using your funds.
There are different proof of funding required for your Schengen destination. 6-month bank statements would be ideal to submit as well.
10. Certificate of employment and payslips. If you are self-employed, you have to submit your tax return or proof of income and business registration.
If you are on a UK spouse visa, Permanent Resident (ILR) as a Spouse of a British /EEA/EU citizen and would like to apply under the EEA/EU family member, you ONLY have to submit the following:
- A copy of your marriage certificate
- A copy of the passport Bio page of your EEA/EU spouse.
UPDATE: I have received a few updates recently that Embassies currently requires the applicants to have a CONFIRMED flight or transportation booking with clearly specifying your name.
Please check the respective embassies for their requirements.
Your spouse should sign the Schengen application to prove that he is acknowledging that you are a family member and the main sponsor of the Schengen visa.
When I submitted my application, I didn’t even include the majority of the requirements mentioned above.
If you are currently holding an EEA/EU Family Residential card, you won’t have to apply for a Schengen visa. You can travel freely within the EU/Schengen States under the free movement policy.

These are some really great and detailed advise. Thanks for sharing!
Welcome, Barb! 🙂
Hi Ryazan,
Really helpful post! Can you please help me with my query? I hold a Philippine passport, and am married to my British national husband. I do have a UK spouse visa, valid until June 2019.
We’re planning to go to France by the end of March. I have my visa appointment this coming Thursday.
My questions are:
1. Can I apply under EEA/EU family member?
2. When your visa was granted, how long was the duration of your visa?
3. Will the visa be acceptable to enter all Schengen countries?
4. If I do get the visa, does it mean I always have to travel with my husband for it to be valid?
Thank you so much.
I have a student uk visa till 2019. I need to travel in april but in april i wouldnt have completed 3 months in the uk. does this make me not allowed to apply for a schengen visa?
great guide but I was trying to figure out why you would need to get a visa to hop across the channel. But I guess if you are an ex-pat living in the U.K. then it makes sense.
Unfortunately, not all passports are created equal. So some expats who are here in the UK under Non-European passport would still need to acquire a Schengen Visa when they want to travel around the Continental Europe. Same goes for the people who are in the continent and would like to visit the UK.
Helpful for those who may need to get this visa.
Yep! 🙂 thanks.x
Useful advice. I do wonder why the UK never took part in the Schengen agreement.
Thanks, Fiona. It’s probably because UK still want to have a little control over their borders. Now, that Brexit is on its way we might see few more tougher changes regarding border control.
I’m so glad to be European and I don’t have to apply for this visa to visit beautiful Europe 🙂 haha
But to anyone who is not European – I encourage you to apply for this visa if you want to visit Europe , it’s worth every effort 🙂
Best,
Kasia
Europe is indeed beautiful, Kasia. 🙂
I have not had to apply for a visa yet, I mostly travel in Europe. In honestly, it doesn’t usually occur to me that I may need one!
Most people who holds a “powerful” passport, may sometimes overlook this because they have their privilege to travel freely within Europe.
This is a very useful and comprehensive post about getting a Schengen visa. I haven’t traveled in Europe yet, but plan to in 2018 so this is all great to know!
Awesome! All the best, Jen. x
Being English, I wasn’t aware of this type of Visa because of our freedom of movement within European countries – However with Brexit looming we might need to apply for these visa’s in the future. This post will be very helpful though for a number of friends I have from outside the Europe who may be looking for multi entry visa’s – I’ll be passing this post on 😀
The upcoming Brexit deal will make or break our right to travel in Europe. Thanks for sharing my post to your friends. 🙂
Thanks for the well written, and informative post, very useful information. This process isn’t that simple and you have included everything. Thanks!
Thanks, Dorene! 🙂
Luckily, we live in New Zealand so we didn’t need to apply for this visa. However, this is a very well-informed post and I’ll be sharing it my friends who do live in these countries.
Very informative and comprehensive guide for getting a Schengen Visa in the UK. Kudos for the attention to detail.
Such a detailed and useful post for getting a Schengen visa in the UK. I am from India and very well understand how tough and stringent the norms are for Schengen visa. Hope to travel to Europe in 2018.
Very helpful. Im planning to have a two-week vacation in 4 states. If my first port is italy and i will stay there for 5 days then france and stay for 6 days, where should I apply for a visa? In the italian or french consulate? Im a PhD student here in Scotland, are they strict with students? Thanks so much.
Thank you, Kevin! 🙂 You should apply to get your Schengen visa in French Consulate. They are not so particular with Students as long as you have proper documentation (e.g. School docs and itinerary) and money to show you can support yourself during your trip. Good Luck! xx
Would it be hard for Ph passport holder to get a Schengen Visa to the UK? How long does it usually take to secure a visa? Btw, many thanks to your very informative blog, Ryazan.
Hi Shy, thank you very much for your kind words. As for the Schengen visa, UK doesn’t use it. You have to apply separately in the British embassy to secure one. 🙂 Good luck!
Hello im kate a filipino also. May i know what document did u present? Im spouse visa also and my hubby is a british holder. Thank yoh
Hi Kate, I included the things that you have to submit as Spouse of EU/EEA citizen in the blog post above.
Here it is:
If you are on a UK spouse visa, Permanent Resident (ILR) as a Spouse of a British /EEA/EU citizen and would like to apply under the EEA/EU family member, you only have to submit the following:
A copy of your marriage certificate
A copy of the Bio page of your EEA/EU spouse.
How long is the validity of the visa granted under the EEA/EU family member scheme? If longer than the duration of the trip, does it mean I always have to travel with my husband? I’m applying through the French embassy.
Thank you.
As i live in the West Contry are there any application centre’s that are not in London or that we can apply to by post ? A round trip to London is almost 600 miles. My Turkish husband has FLR so has residency here Any help would be greatfully recieved
Hi Lyn, It depends which Schengen country you are going, some consulates have branches in other UK main cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Edinburgh. If you are applying for the first time, most likely you have to pay a visit to one of their office to give your fingerprints as part of the application process. Since your husband only has an FLR status here in the UK, you need to apply as a regular tourist visa. Only spouse of British citizen and EU/EEA can able to apply in a simplified process.
Hi, my family are currently in the uk on tourist visa until Feb. 15, 2018. We are holding Philippine passports. Is it possible for us to apply Schengen visa in London to visit Schengen region. Which embassy in London will allow applications. Hope you can help. Thanks
Hi Gloria, it is possible but under very special circumstances. You need to call the embassy to explain the situation. 🙂 Good luck! Normally, their rule is you can apply the visa 3 months before your propose travel date.
Hey thanks for the detailed on getting a schengen visa. What all documents would it take if I’m applying as an international student from UK and when would be the ideal time to apply?
Hi Shana, Thank you for your kind words.
The documents that you would need will be most likely the same as the tourist application but you would also require a letter from your school saying that you are on leave or school holiday during your trip. You also have to state their the resume of your classes etc. It’s good if you can have this on a school letterhead. You can also include the some proof that you are a student here in the UK e.g. school ID, enrollment confirmation etc.
The typical application period will be the 3 months prior to your travel dates. Good luck!
Thank you so much. It was great help. I’d like to ask just one more thing is a health insurance of 30,000 euros a must? And can’t I apply 15 days prior to my visit?
Your travel insurance should cover your health insurance when you travel. As long as the insurance cover will comply with the terms of the embassy you are applying, you should be ok. You can apply your visa 15 days prior to your visit, but sometimes processing period will be 2 to 3 weeks.
Hi, I just want to confirm couple of things, 1. We don’t need to book the tickets but just give print of itinerary.
2. Is it also valid for accommodation or do we need to book it and give final confirmation?
Thanks
Hi Kunal,
Here are the answers to your questions:
1. Yes, you only need to print the copy of your itinerary from a travel site e.g. Expedia or Skyscanner to show your proposed travel dates.
2. If you can book a flexible hotel/accommodation booking that would be perfect. That will give you the flexibility and option to cancel it for free in case your visa will get refused.
All the best and enjoy Europe! 🙂
HI Ryazan,
Awesome website and materials, thank you so much. I have been asked to provide a ‘certified translation’ from A UK company of my Thai marriage certificate for my wife. Do you have any ideas of certified companies that do this please in the UK.
It is for schengen visa in Germany.
best wishes
Andrew
Hi Andrew, Santranslate seems to fit your bill. You can also check on gov.uk if they have a list of accredited translation companies near your place. Good luck!
Thankyou very much Ryazan, i had a look on gov.uk but it wasn’t clear. I will have a look at your other recommendation. Have a good day.
Hi Ryazan, that was a very informative guide. Thanks a lot for this one, much appreciated!
A few quick questions, though:
1) I would like to visit Europe multiple times over the next 6 months for tourism; different countries every time. However, the first visit will be to France. What is the additional thing that I need to do in my Visa application for this? Do I need to enter France first, every time then?
2) Will a bus ticket from the UK to Paris get accepted instead of a flight itinerary?
3) Can you please recommend some good websites for the ‘flexible accommodation’ that you have suggested?
Hi Rakesh,
Thank you very much for your kind words. To answer your questions,
You don’t have to visit France every time you will visit another Schengen state provided that your visa is valid with Multiple entries.
The bus ticket from the UK to Paris will be ok as well, as long as you have the return journey.
You can check my deals and resources page I normally use it to book my hotels or hostels for flexible option.
Hi Ryazan, It’s very informative. I have one question though, is there any required month/s since you have had your residence card before you can apply for a Schengen visa? For instance, I’ve had mine for just a month or so, am I qualified to apply for it? Will be much appreciated if you can answer this for me. Thanks!
As far as I’m aware there is no qualifying month. You can apply as soon as you have you residence visa or as long as its valid. Good luck! Thank you for reading my blog.
Hi Ryazan,
Thank you for your detailed description of the Schengen Visa application processes.
I will be taking some time in February 2018 to visit four (4) European countries and I am certain that my first port of call will be France, would you please suggest other 3 countries, I can visit – based on ‘interesting things to do’ in each of the countries?
Thank you.
WOW!! You’ll definitely love it. From France, you can catch a train to head north to Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxembourg. If you want to head south, you can visit Andalucia, Spain and Portugal. 🙂
Hi Ryazan,
I have a UK residence card as being an EU spouse meaning I also have a Romanian Residence card which is EU. I am intending to travel alone do you think I will need still need a Schengen Visa?
I used to travel visa free in the EU but I was accompanied by my spouse. Bytheway, this is a very informative blog you have here, well done !
Regards,
Edmar
Hi Edmar, Thank you very much for your kind words. Since you have two residence card, I can’t see any problem if you plan to travel alone or with your friends in EU using these cards without applying for a Schengen visa.
Hi Ryazan,
Very informative article. We are a group of 3 Indians who are in London for a 2 year business Visa. We would like to visit Europe that means we need a Schengen Visa. As we are already in London we cant go back to India and apply for it. I know we have 50-50 chance with few embassies. One of our friend got through Belgium embassy but another one got rejected from France embassy. Do you have any suggestions for us before we apply?. Our Visa expires only in 2020 so no worries there.Appreciate your suggestions and hints for us to pass through and visit the beautiful land.
Hi Nagarjuna,
Thank you for your kind words.
Applying in the correct embassies will help you to get approved quicker. If you are planning to visit multiple countries, you will need to submit you visa application to the Schengen state that you will be visiting longer (based on the number of days).
Also, providing a good reason/documents that you are coming back in the UK. This can possibly be an employment contract or student enrollment form etc. Also, you have to make sure you have a sufficient amount of money that will cover your expenses per day.
Good luck! 🙂
Hi Ryazan, I’m also a Philippines passport holder and I hold a UK spouse visa. I would like to ask if you were able to obtain a Multipe- Entry Shengen visa for 1 year? I’m planning to apply for a 1 year multiple entry visa this coming February. I have previous Shengen visa, one is for Greece and other is Italy but I was able to get it when I was still living in Dubai. Is there like visa application form where I can say that I want to get a 1 year visa? Or it’s always the immigration officers decision? Thank you in advance.
Hi Mrs. B, You can possibly get a year Schengen visa with multiple entry but this depends on the your circumstances. I suggest to write a letter to the consulate that you will be applying and tell them your reason on why they should give you a 1-year Schengen visa.
Just follow the requirements under the EEA/EU Family visa.
Good luck! 🙂
Thanks for your advice…
i would like to mention one thing…
i had already Italy visa, just previously expired and i applied a few days ago from UAE. unfortunately i got rejected the visa application .
and they mention in the rejection letter that i submitted wrong document..
Actually i submitted all requirements as per the check list everything was perfect from my side, even that i got rejected
I contact embassy, as per the conversation i understand they can issue or reject a visa even without any reason also after rejection they telling any reason to us…
I’m sorry to know this, Rashid.
I’m afraid they might not be able to tell you the real reason of rejection due to their confidentiality policies. I would suggest that you should appeal your application and explain to them on why they should overturn their decision and you are a genuine traveller.
Hi,
Did you have to submit a confirmed travel ticket as proof that you’ll travel together?
HI All,
Can any one help me regarding schengen visa information. I am travelling to UK ( derby) from india with 6months business – multiple entry visa. I want to travel and see places in europe. I read somewhere that you cannot apply for schengen visa for travelers/tourists in UK. But i do not have time to apply in home country (India).
Kindly i request you to provide some information regarding this. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Raj
This is helpful, thanks!
Quick one though, if I get a visa from the French Embassy, can I still travel to other Schengen countries (for example, Spain)? If so, do I always have to come via France (let’s say it’s a multiple entry visa)? 🙂
Thanks, Mischa. 🙂 You can use your Schengen visa (Multiple Entry) to visit all the Schengen countries and you don’t have to come via France every time.
very informative and im still confused.
My wife is Thai lives with me in the Uk,has a valid visa and a residence permit we want to go on holiday to Greece and I cannot work this out whether she actually needs a visa or not? Spain has a tourist visa is required ,schengan website hasnt replied and the same with Greece.
Thanks in advance
Paul
Hi Paul, I guess she doesn’t have a UK passport so yes, she needs to apply for a Schengen visa from Greek embassy. Same as the Spouse family permit that I applied for. You can find the link to the Greek embassy and where to book an appt on this blog post. Good luck!
Hello ,
I’m a indian citizen and my husband is british citizen. I got biometric residence permit. I’m here in uk on spouse visa. Do i apply as a family member of eu/ eea citizen? I need multiple entry visa. Am i need to provide my second trip reservations? I booked my first trip but not my second trip. I’m going to prague with my friends . Can i still apply as a family member of eu/eea citizen?
Thanks
Hi Ryazan 🙂
I will be going to UK with my son and husband this April and we plan to go to Poland by May. Im married to an EU national and me and my son have an EEA Family Permit. Is it a requirement to live in the UK for 3 months before we can apply for a Schengen Visa?
TIA
Is there any difference in the visa application process for a Filipina (with ILR) married to a UK citizen, travelling with her husband or travelling alone?
I get the impression if you are the spouse of a UK citizen you can only apply under the spouse visa if you intend to travel with your spouse, otherwise you must apply for a standard tourist visa – is this correct?
Hi Daniel, Nope.. I applied my previous Schengen visa under the “Family Member EU/EEA” even if I didn’t travel with my husband to Schengen countries. I have only submitted the required docs for the EU/EEA spouse. (see the blog post above).

Hi,
I am an Indian citizen shifted to the UK 1 month back. I wanted to apply for a Schengen visa from the UK. It seems like a mandatory requirement to spend atleast 3 months before applying from the UK.
Is it possible to apply before 3 months?
Thanks,
HIran
Hi Hiran, this actually depends on your UK visa and personal circumstance. You need to contact the Schengen state embassy where you will submit your application. Good luck!
