I arrived this year on an OA and assumed I'd need a new visa/extension every year. So I'm able to extend my stay on the same visa indefinitely by flying out and returning and thereby getting a new stamp of 1 year? Assuming I can meet finance/health care requirements?
Do you mean she has 'indefinate right to remain' visa in the UK? From what I remember you apply to the country's embassy that you want to visit in the UK and apply for your schengen visa there. If you then travel on to other countries in the schengen area the same visa applies. So you could get your visa from Germany and then travel on to Spain and Greece.
Seems odd that it's only the O/A visa that requires health cover if the reason is to stop people doing a runner without paying a hospital bill, if that was the reason for the new rule surely it would apply to all long term visas? 🤷♂️
Does he need to set up a separate holding account within his Wise account for Thai Baht to keep a balance in Baht to pay in Thailand with the DEBIT card?
