Why would you go to France. Better get to Spain quick before the disease hits. They’re next on the social media posts arrests! Poland always a pro move.

Top 10 Easiest Countries to Get a Schengen Visa in 2024
Schengen member states continue to remain popular holiday destinations for foreigners regardless of the season, particularly for those who do not need a visa and can always plan a last-minute vacation. However, for the nationals of the majority of world countries, planning a last-minute vacation...

I like Paris in the springtime as a first stop.
Spain is on the list because my wife has a cousin there. And I have never been to Spain, but I kinda like the...
Poland is on the list because I have a cousin there and all of my grandparents came from there to get away from WW1
My cousin sends pictures of his adventures in Poland. He is a school teacher with lots of time off to travel around.
It looks very nice. And I mean very.
The issue is, from my understanding, that the UK shares visa information with the US and with various European countries (along with every other bit of data). A refusal for the UK does impact on your ability to get a US or a Schengen visa. In addition there are emotional effects on the applicant being refused. Also I wonder if you've realised how expensive things are in Europe now. London is mind-blowingly expensive. Even cheaper countries like Spain and Greece are extremely extremely expensive. If you can't afford £2K for a lawyer, I wonder how you're going to afford the trip.
I grew up with all the above. You forgot the kishka and ring bologna.
My grandfather owned a Polish bakery where my dad and uncles worked.
Best rye bread ever.
I don’t think you have to spend 2k for a lawyer, it is pretty straight forward but the devil
is in the details with the Schengen visa.
What I don’t understand is you saying Spain and Greece are expensive …stay south then because The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxemburg are really expensive.
Groceries are cheaper than the DR.
I can easily afford whatever it takes, but that is not the point. The point is, I won't waste 2,000 USD/EURO or Britsh pounds on just the application for the visa. That would never happen based simply on the principles that it isn't worth it for such a trip.
I have zero interest in going to the UK and eating their mediocre food and being damp all the time. Been there and done that on a work trip. No reason to go back and I know my wife would not like it there.
My wife has interest in Spain and I have interest in Poland to see relatives there. I'd also like to go back to Italy again along the way and Paris is always nice for a day or two.
Whoo-weee! I'm not going to read between the lines on that one!!
UK is not part of Schengen and EU, entering Schengen will give some challenges. (And I'm not talking about crossing the North Sea)
A couple of questions which are not clear to me in your post:
Is the plan to go to Paris first and then Spain?
2. How does Poland fit into this idea? Is it part of the Paris/Spain trip?
3. Is Poland a Schengen member?
4. From SDQ who flies direct to Paris, or Poland?
I feel like this memeber was sharing about travel adventures and for some reason you have assigned him these questions as if he was your Haitian domestic employee.
The reason I asked is... in that mix of three countries there might be some good opportunities for Windy to get the visas he needs faster and easier.

Whatever. Free to read it any ole way yer lil hearts desires.
From SDQ you can fly direct to Paris with Air Caraibe, it isn't non-stop but it is direct.
Poland, along with the whole of Europe, has a massive concern with immigration. Nowhere in Europe is going to be easy to get into these days.
Oh gosh, you're slow to the game! Whilst all the old guys sit making bitchy comments and argue with each other and one by one get put on vacation, Hijo and me quietly sit in the corner and have a little tease.
Well, I think you need to come to the realisation that immigration is a huge huge huge problem across Europe. Politicians talk about very little else. And nobody is getting a visa easily. So if you really do want to go and you really do want a visa for your wife who is a national of a high-risk, high refusal-rate country, then you have to face the facts that you're going to have to invest some money in getting the visa. And a visa which gives access to 28 countries is an amazing visa. And obviously once she has been in once and come back once, the second time she wants to go it will be much easier to get a visa.
Think of the 2,000 as an investment. And as I mentioned, Europe is very expensive everywhere, so this will be a fraction of the cost of your trip.
Just my opinion, I guess you won't agree but it's a forum we are here to share different views.
Yes, filling in the form is very straightforward. But making an application which satisfies the legal requirements of the immigration act and which will stand a very high chance of being granted a visa, now that's a different thing altogether (and yes it still involves filling out that same form).
