Directive/2004/38/EC wrote: ...Find the right swiss ombudsman.. Hi Directive, I wish I could find the right ombudsman, but it seems there is no ombudsman "at federal level" for "federal offices". (All listed ones are just not what I'd need ) As the Cantonal "Migrationoffice" was involved, I sent a message to the Cantonal Ombudsman. Although a reply came swiftly (1 hour or so), their...

I can see why it would be a hassle to offer such a service but can't believe there isn't the demand for it! Thanks in advance! Buy a crap van for £50 and leave it there!

Good Luck on Monday! The Visa Application is pretty standard and the same across all of Schengen regardless of what type of Visa you need to apply for. The link to the application above will be fine so that you can take it in with you already completed. Just remember that you don't need to answer any questions marked with an asterisk *.

Have it your way. We tried to tell you not to do that. It will be years till you get out of this mess and it is of your own making. Sorry for being blunt, but I happen to know the procedure backwards and the law specifically says family members apply at the Questura and not by post.

If you are going to live in a country the least you can do is to attempt to speak the lingo. I have no expectation of getting English service from a government office, nor did I imply it -- hence the utility of having a five year resident id. You've made my point for me.

well, I was turned away at the questura and told to do it by post. (I wasnt even allowed in the stupid building). I then tried to ring them but no one answered... lovely. So, I did what you guys told me not to do ... I went to the post office. Since I only had a couple of days left, I feel like I had no choice. (Richard: I was told that I could do it by the post. It's on the main poste italiane site and inside the post package theres a...
