Yes, if you hold Limited Leave to Remain (LLR) in the UK, you can apply for a Schengen visa, provided your UK residence permit is valid and you meet the necessary requirements.
LLR status indicates that you are legally residing in the UK on a temporary visa, such as a Skilled Worker, Student, or Family visa. This status allows you to apply for a Schengen visa from within the UK. However, it's important to note that holding LLR does not grant automatic entry into the Schengen Area; you must still obtain a visa unless your nationality is exempt.
When applying for a Schengen visa, you will need to provide:
A valid passport
Proof of UK residency (e.g., your Biometric Residence Permit)
Evidence of financial means
Accommodation details
A cover letter explaining your travel purpose
Ensure that your UK visa is valid for at least three months beyond your planned return date from the Schengen Area. It's advisable to apply well in advance of your intended travel date, as processing times can vary.
Cyprus is not part of the Schengen Area. A Schengen visa is not valid in Cyprus.
No, a single entry Schengen visa allows you to enter the Schengen area once and visit multiple countries during that visit. If you plan to leave and re-enter the Schengen area, you will need a multiple entry visa.
either apply for asylum or depending on the circumstances you may be eligible to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR)
Traveling in Europe has been simplified with the introduction of the Schengen visa. As a visitor to the Schengen area, you will enjoy the many advantages of this unified visa system. With a Schengen visa, you may enter one country and travel freely throughout the Schengen zone. Internal border controls have disappeared; there are no or few stops and checks. This means that internal air, road and train travel are handled as domestic trips, similar to travel from one US state to another. Those who traveled in Europe before Schengen know the difference. The 15 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. All these countries except Norway and Iceland are European Union members.
No, a single-entry visa only allows you to enter the Schengen area once. If you leave, you will need a new visa to re-enter.
If you leave the Schengen before the time limit runs out, stay away overnight and then come back. This should restart the clock. For example, you could go for the weekend to London, which is not in the Schengen Area. The disadvantage of this is that you are in the Schengen Area as a tourist. You are not allowed to work.
It depends on what kind of a visa you have when you're living there. Do you have Indefinite Leave to Remain? How long will you be in Spain? Spain is a Schengen member and the UK is not. So, if you're staying in the UK under the Visa Waiver Program (as a tourist for 6 months or less), you can go to Spain and stay for no more than 90 days. Schengen countries allow US citizens to visit the Schengen Zone through the VWP for up to 90 days out of every 180 (i.e. you can stay 3 months and have to leave 3 months before you can stay another 3).
you can get married but you cannot apply to remain here. you need to leave the uk and apply for entry clearance from turkey to come as the spouse of uk national.
This give you the right to apply for either indefinite leave to remain or British citizenship. Read <a href="http://lifeuk.info/blog/life-in-the-uk-test/">Life in the UK test</a> for more information.
If you leave the Schengen area and go to a non-Schengen country, and then re-enter the Schengen area later, the "clock" starts again from zero. If you do not need a Schengen visa, this is an advantage. If you do need a visa, it is a disadvantage as you need to get a multiple-entry visa. So, if you plan in a trip outside Schengen in the middle of your travels, you can get 2 x 90 days. For example, if you are in France, you could do a trip to London, as the UK is not in Schengen.
It depends on your nationality. If you are an EU or Schengen Area citizen you do not need any time on your passport. Otherwise you need 3 months after the date you intend to leave the Schengen Area.
