Title: lost carte sejour Post by: mark.thornton21 on December 09, 2014, 12:27:10 pm My wife is visiting her family in s america and has lost her carte sejour for residency in france. She was told by the french embassy to apply for a visa so she could return and renew her carte sejour. She now has a 3 month visa during which time she will renew her residency card on return.
The normal condition of a shengen visa is that you must have a return flight out of shengen area. Is it ok to book a cheap flight to the uk, (she has a uk 5 year visitor visa) rather than an expensive one to s america? she will not use either flight as she will renew her residency and remain here. Thank you Title: Re: lost carte sejour Post by: steven on December 10, 2014, 08:46:48 am Most visitors return to their original location, but it is not uncommon to fly to some other place after visiting EU. Let's say you wanted to do a round trip around the globe, you would need Schengen visa to enter EU, but your flight out of EU would not be back to your origin.
