I am travelling at the end of feb to Funchal in Madeira (portugal) with my wife. She has a indian passport with a marriage 2 year visa, she arrived in the uk may 2005. I have a british passport.
Question is do I apply through the portugal embassy for a schengen visa? What are they like regarding how long they take and can you go in person or need a appointment.
I saw on the site that if the partner has a EU passport there is no fee for the visa, can this be true?
Note: A Schengen visa will be issued free of charge to the spouse and children of an EU national, upon presentation of the original marriage or birth certificate and a valid EU passport. For children, original full birth certificates are required.
