    Schengen Business Visa

    Hi All,

    i know i have posted a thread concerning something similar to this - (for those of you who recognize my user name ) .

    My question is this, i have a contract in the Uk which requires me to also travel to Germany and Portugal . I am non-EU ,and currently on a Work permit in the UK. Has anyone in the room applied for a schengen Business Visa? if yes - what are the documents i need from my client. (Being a limited company do i need any special document? )

    Your replies will be helpful

    P.S
    i have check the schengen site already - i am just looking to see if anyone has done this in the past .

      You're a fast learner. I look forward to seeing NLUKs response when you've covered his stock answers (ps even google doesn't point to a search result here that helps).

      Apart from that I can't help you as its not a problem I have.
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

          Schengen Business Visa

          My missus has had one from German Embassy, this is what you need (from memory)

          1. Letter from your employer ie yourself

          2. Letter from German Office of company visiting outlining what you will be doing there (not a good idea to lie to the Germans, read the tax threads)

          3. Passport with more than three months left on it

          4. The fee

          5. Confirmed comprehensive health insurance valid for all Schengen states

          Then u book an appointment on the phone, this is not easy, all done by keypad and easy to balls it up, plus it costs £1.50 a minute and takes about 10 mins. At this time of year expect a 3/4 week lead time.

          On the day get to the consulate in London, before 10:30am and take your appointment, should get the visa back in ur passport in another week or so by post.

          Simples!

                Am lost on this one. Someone on a work visa getting a gig that he can't fulfil in other countries is way out of my league lol.

                I don't even think the newbie guides cover this one.
