People’s Common Questions
Below are the essentials every ILR traveller should know about visas, appointments, and flights. Information here is general; your checklist may vary by destination.
What does FlyComfies do?
We manage end-to-end visa documentation (forms, checklists, appointments) and flight booking for UK ILR holders—with transparent pricing and timely updates.
Do ILR holders need a Schengen visa?
Yes. ILR permits UK residence but doesn’t replace destination visas. We confirm the correct category and prepare your file accordingly.
Which countries do you cover?
All Schengen states including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, plus many non-Schengen destinations.
When should I apply for a Schengen visa?
Ideally 6 weeks to 3 months before travel (some consulates accept up to 6 months ahead). Apply early in peak seasons.
How long does processing take?
Most Schengen applications are decided within 15 calendar days after your appointment; some cases may take 30–45 days.
What documents are usually required?
Passport, UK residence proof, photos, travel plan, flight and hotel reservations, funds, insurance, and purpose evidence. We provide a tailored checklist.
Do you guarantee visa approval?
No agency can guarantee approvals. We maximise compliance by preparing accurate documentation and guiding you through each requirement.
Who books my visa appointment?
We do. Once your file is ready, we secure the earliest available slot and share your appointment letter and preparation steps.
Will you book flights before the visa is issued?
Yes, using hold/reservable or refundable options that satisfy visa requirements while protecting your funds.
Can I change or cancel tickets later?
Usually yes, subject to the fare rules. We handle reissues or date changes and keep the itinerary consistent with your visa.
Do you arrange travel insurance?
Yes. We provide Schengen-compliant policies and include the certificate in your application pack.
