Heard about this? Visas for:
FAMILY MEMBER OF AN EU OR SWISS NATIONAL
• Processing fee : waived
LIST OF REQUIRED DOCUMENTS
KINDLY PRESENT IN 2 SETS IN THE FOLLOWING ORDER:
1. This cheklist
2. 2 long stay visa application forms
3. 2 passporte size photos on white background
4. ORIGINAL + 2 PHOTOCOPIES : Passport (issued less than ten years, with
3 months remaining validity) + copy of the page containing personal
information
5. 2 PHOTOCOPIES : proof of family ties to a EU / Swiss national:
• birth certificate / marriage certificate
in case of separation of parents:
• document indicating full custody of the minor
6. 2 PHOTOCOPIES : proof of nationality for the EU / Swiss citizen:
• national ID card:
• passport;
• certificate of nationality issued by a consular authority
7. 2 PHOTOCOPIES : proof of residence in France :
• work contract, rent contract or property title
• affidavit indicating interest to reside in France
8. 2 PHOTOCOPIES : proof of being a dependent of an EU / Swiss
nationatl (for children over 21 years old)
• affidavit stating that the visa applicant is indeed a dependent
• document issued by the state of nationality indicating that the applicant is indeed a qualified dependent.
Bon. I wrote to french embassy manila about the process of my daughter Loraine. They passed me to OFII (Office of French Immigration and Integration) . I went to Ofii, wrote them via registred mail.The answer is NO,they phoned me, no solution for my daughter.
Not even a document to say, sorry, no visa for your daughter.
If you go back to the lists above, you can see, there again some sort of favoritism.
ALL EU NATIONALS including Swiss and UK nationals, can ask visa for their family member to visit or join them in europe,including those above 21 years old.
French Embassy and OFII snobbed me splendidly,the law doesnt apply to me, being french national.
Bureaucracy eh?

veta, unga. Ganuna talaga.
Meng,hello.
I told loraine to pass all complete documents.
Visa waived naman yan, so she asked an appointment.
Ganun nga daw sa Japan, walang visa for family. But here in Europe, meron, includes faily from third world countries.
And the law about visa for loraine was approved June 2011.
If they do not apply it, then they violate my rights.
We will see.

Unfortunately a visa is not a right but a privilege, and this does not apply to France only but to many countries.
Immigration laws get tougher and tougher to fight abuses and honest people suffer as consequences.

korek. I was offered to pass my daughter to some "undisclosed" ways, I said no.If I stay honest with French immigration laws, even it will took us looong and kilometers of patience, we will do it.
After all the sun shines everyday to the good and bad ones,so does the privilèdges... I think.di ba?
