Anyone familiar with applying for Schengen tourist visas and how to get a long term one (2-3 year+)? They keep giving me ones for the duration of my stay and I’m racking up 200-300£ in visa fees each year…

On a similar note, any tips on which consulate you’ve been applying to? I just can’t seem to find an appointment anywhere.

I applied 4-5 times now and been getting 6 months each time from France and Denmark. Previously been getting duration of stay because my residence permit in the UK was expiring. I wrote a letter saying I intend to use for multiple entry and aim for different trips throughout the year and attach it along side the itinerary.

You should apply from Switzerland consistently. They start giving 1 yr and then UpTo 2yr

Oh really? Hmmm that’s probably right! The first time I applied they gave me 6 months so you’re probably right. Thanks!

How are you all finding appointments? I tried different consulates over the last week and couldn’t find any (through vfs)

Booked an appointment 3 months in advance to get a long term schengen visa.

Have an invitation to interview.

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?

Seems like the only way to get the experience is to have nailed a big law gig right out of school and get put into that practice.
