Just spent an hour reading this entire thread so a big thanks to all who have contributed. I am very glad I rejoined! ![Beaming face with smiling eyes :grin: 😁](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f601.png)
As we now finally have a new van I want to go through this process for a six month summer trip in 2025. Our trips pre Brexit and before old Hank the Tank the Kontiki became too tired were always five to six months so I'm eager to start some proper euro adventures again.
Now I know where to come for advice.
Couple of questions. What is the current total cost for two visas as info above seems to conflict? We will choose a courier to send the passports back as Manchester is a 240 mile round trip for us.
What about proof of funds? How much do you need and are investments or private pension pots enough. We don't have joint accounts and don't keep much in current or standard savings accounts as they don't make much money.
Does anyone know if the new EES and ETIAS systems coming online shortly here will have any impact?
