My wife is a non-EEA national and we're planning to go on a trip to france & germany later in the summer. its either going to be 8 days in france & 7 in germany or vice versa. We'll be going to germany first.
Have just been to the german embassy and it wasnt a good experience - they seemed to be going out of their way not to issue people visas - turning people away for showing a couple of teeth in their passport photo - mouth MUST be closed! If i make france my 'main' destination i can apply at the french embassy. If i plan 8 days in france it will be the main destination.
The german embassy requires you to have bookings for all accomadation on your trip even though i have bookings for my flight into germany and out of france..and a letter of inviation for our time in germany. Has anyone any experience of applying in the french embassy - are they any better? the german embassy insist you fill out all the application form even though several question are marked as not required for the spouse of and EU national?
any info appreciated..thanks.
