My parents have booked us a family holiday to Lanzarote in November.

Could I apply for the Schengen visa before August or will I need to have the spouse visa in place to apply for that?]]> 7 Disneyland Paris Sun, 19 May 2024 19:55:25 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/disneyland-paris.20555/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/disneyland-paris.20555/ invalid@example.com (ross mastin) ross mastin 6 Vaccine and visa Thu, 18 Apr 2024 01:01:52 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/vaccine-and-visa.20517/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/vaccine-and-visa.20517/ invalid@example.com (Fazer1) Fazer1
Would i be correct in thinking that at this moment in time i don't need to apply fir a visa or the new ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) to enter the Philippines as a British citizen?

And would i also be correct in thinking that there is NO MANDATORY VACCINE...

Like NOT ANY type of vaccine for ANY reason to enter the Philippines?

Are they all just recomendations?]]> 28 Schengen Booking slots Wed, 07 Feb 2024 06:01:01 +0000 http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/schengen-booking-slots.20433/ http://www.british-filipino.com/index.php?threads/schengen-booking-slots.20433/ invalid@example.com (Ollie3487) Ollie3487

Once the baby is in Spain how do i make myself the father (the baby does not have my DNA) - perhaps Guardianship will be easier.

Any thoughts on this ? I thought you could do up to 6 months in the Schegen zone during a 12...
