Does my mother require a Schengen visa to travel to Europe with me?
My mother holds an Indian passport with a stamp for indefinite leave to remain. She has been in the UK since 1975 after marrying my father, who was a British citizen.
I want to take her with me to visit Europe. Would she need a Schengen visa?
Best Answer
Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK does not entitle a person to travel visa free to Schengen states. Although she has lived in UK for decades, as an Indian national she would have to apply for a visa (generally to the country of your main destination or where you will spend the most days).
