I work in the UK on a short-term visa and my wife/daughter are in the UK on a tourist visa. Can we apply for a Schengen visa together in the UK?

According to the Consulate General of France in London:

To apply for a visa from the French Authorities in London:

  • You must hold a valid and recognized passport/ travel document;

  • You must be resident in the UK

  • Your UK residency must have at least 3 months validity after the intended date of departure from the Schengen area.

  • As per the decree 2008-1176 of the 13th of November 2008, the French Consulate, London, is not competent in processing visa applications of people not resident in the UK, i.e. holders of ’C-Visit’ visas or of a British visa valid for 6 months or less. People who are not resident in the UK must apply for their Schengen visas at the French Consulate in their country of residence.

So to answer your questions:

  1. Only you can apply for a Schengen visa in the UK, since your visa is valid for more than 6 months
  2. Your wife and daughter should apply for a visa back at their country of residence.
