Visa question
Good evening all.
My nephew (British, living in Spain) has a Columbian girlfriend.
She recently joined him in Spain and was given a 90 day entry stamp at the Spanish border. (Columbians are visa free nationals for Schengen countries).
They would now like to travel to the UK for a family gathering and have a UK visa application in progress.
Should the visa be granted, would she have a problem re-entering Spain from the UK. We have no idea whether her entry stamp into Spain is multi entry or indeed whether the airlines in the UK would allow her to travel.
Thank you.

Re: Visa question
I think the OP means that the girlfriend has a visitor visa application in at the moment in order to go to the family gathering.
If granted, and she goes to the UK, will her 90 day stamp (not Schengen visa) allow her back into Spain.
I think it will as long as it is within the original 90 day issue date and she has proof of her departure from Spain back to Colombia.

Re: Visa question
As your nephew's girlfriend is not a resident of Spain her application is likely to be refused.
