Can I apply for Schengen visa from London as foreigner?
I hold Kuwaiti passport, and will be in London until mid June on personal matter. I plan to travel for tourism in summer to Europe, and I'm wondering if I can apply for Schengen as Kuwaiti on tourist visa in London.
Are there any embassies that accept such conditions?
Thing is, if I don't while in London, it may be hard to get visa from Kuwait during summer as it gets too crowded.
Best Answer
Whether you can apply for a Schengen visa in London depends on the rules and conditions of the embassy that will be issuing the visa. And which embassy to choose depends on the "main country" of your planned travel.
So first find out which is the main country of your travel, then find the website of the respective embassy, and then look at the rules on their website.
By the way: you didn't state in your question whether you hold a UK residence permit. If you do, most embassies will allow you to apply.
