Hi Friends,

I got my GC approved and would like to visit London. Do i need to take a Visa or Am i entitled to visit London using my USA GCard.

If i need a Visa, could any one advice me how to proceed in applying for my Visa for Europe.


Your kind help will be highly appreciated

Thanks

Contact embassy or visit web site

Every country has its own policy. I find that the best way to confirm such things is to call the consular office of the respective country and verify. Citizenship would change things drastically but I doubt if PR does.

Good Luck.
 
Yes, you need a visa for most European countries even though a green card. One of my friends who wanted to visit UK, France and I don't know what other countried found out that he needs a visa to visit most of these countries. The procedure is quite cumbersome it seems. You need to have confirmed tickets and accomodation before you can apply for visa. I don't know the exact details. Check with the consulates and other people.

Yes, you need a VISA

I'm planning to visit my sister in UK in the near future. The VISA info. is available via http://britain-info.org/visas/YesVisit.asp The application only asks for the family member's name and relationship, but doesn't have any provision to get some kind of support affadavit/invitation letter from the person staying in UK. Is it sufficient to simply mention the contact info. or do we need something from the other side too? When I went there few years back, I had to submit a copy of hotel reservations.

Visa waivers and reciprocity agreements are for the country of citizenship. India, China and many other countries do not have such agreements with the western world. I helped a friend apply for a Visa to UK to visit his girlfriend a year back (before 9/11). Basically the trip needed to be planned, w/ blocked tickets, blocked reservations etc. In addition he was asked to take bank statements to show he could finance his stay there for the duration of stay.

Good luck...
