Can my husband apply for a Schengen visa from the UK? - Unrecognizable woman painting graffiti on wall

I have been in UK for three months on work permit visa. My husband will be traveling to UK now as my dependent. Can he apply for a Schengen visa from the UK, since I am staying here & he is my dependent, although he won't have been in UK for 3 months?



Best Answer

It would depend on what kind of visa your husband has. From VFS Global:

Applicant must at least meet the following criteria in order to be eligible to submit a Schengen visa application:

  • holding a valid passport/travel document
  • holding a valid UK residence permit. In case applicant holds a short stay visa, a C type visa (see example here), for the UK, then applicant needs to apply for a Schengen visa from his/her residence country.

So if your husband has a residency permit he is free to make an application.
