 Poster: A snowHead
|
We’re just about to start the process of applying for our long stay visa for France through TLS.
Just interested if any other Snowhead has applied recently and how long it took for your passport to be returned.
Last year we kept it within the 90 days (just) but our daughter got the visa which was straightforward with her passport and visa returned in 12 days.
TLS seems to have more warnings about fraudulent applications than previously years so any feedback about recent experiences would be grateful.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Instead of going to the French Consult in Edinburgh they send us to the TLS office in Princes Street

@muppet, I have had a couple of the 6 month ones and two weeks seems about par.

@snowrider, @HammondR, Thanks our appointments are on 26 September so hopefully we should have it back in the same sort of timescale.
For anyone else going through the process we did have an issue getting an appointment.
As instructed on the website for a married couple we created a group for the appointment.
Unfortunately this is then a different appointment system and no appointments Edinburgh at all.
The helpline split the group and we were able to easily get individual slots that suited.

As retirement gets closer I start to think more about this.
Can I ask how long this lets you stay?

The VLS-T option allows for stays of upto 6 months, normally with multiple entries.
