A tourist sticker is not a residence permit. Here is how we choose the route from the UK before you book the wrong appointment. A 90-day Schengen visa is for a short visit. Work, study or living there usually needs a national long-stay or residence visa.
Using the wrong type wastes the fee and the slot. We ask how long you will stay and why. Then we point you at the tourist file or the residence file — not both. Send the country and the real length of stay.

Robin Holidays helps UK-based clients assemble long-stay, work, student, medical and document files, then book the appointment the consulate actually uses. Phone or WhatsApp +44 7853 751403.

Student files are timed to the CAS or admission letter so you are not applying in the last week before term. Medical visits need hospital letters and cover that match the clinic dates. Notarisation, attestation and FCDO legalisation have their own queues; we start those before the visa slot when the embassy asks for legalised papers. Long-stay vs a 90-day Schengen visa should name the route before anyone books TLS, VFS or BLS.
We give a checklist, not guesswork. Bank letters, sponsor letters and proof of funds have to be in the name the instructions require. Translations must be complete if the consulate will not read English. Housing, employment and study evidence is country-specific.
We do not reuse a holiday checklist for a long-stay file. Proof of funds for study or work is not the same as a holiday bank statement: we check whose name is on the account, how many months of statements the centre wants, and whether a sponsor letter is accepted.

Decisions are made by the consulate and the visa centre. This page is information for applicants in the UK, not immigration advice from a solicitor.
