My wife and I, would like to visit the Canaries, she has a legal right to live in England, having just renewed her visa for a further 2 years. However we believe she would be unable to holiday outside he UK. We know we can visit Turkey, but can she, with me visit Tenerife, Lanzarote or the other European countries?

She will need a visa. She might has the legal right to live in UK, but as being a Turkish citizen, she will need to get visa.

I think she will need a visa.
My husband is Moroccan we live in UK and when he had his 2 year visa extension we wanted to travel to the Canary Islands. We had alot of trouble at the airport but they didn't explain anything to us, they just went off with his passport for a long time. When they came back they said he couldn't travel because he would need a visa.
However had they actually asked us and explained to us what the problem was it could've been sorted. We used to live in the Canary Islands so my husband has Spanish residence.
If you both lived in Spain/France etc....... then she could travel anywhere in Europe except the UK, with the visa.
As you live in the UK (like us) you don't have any right to travel anywhere else in Europe, with this visa.
It's some strange rule the UK have, although we are "part of Europe" anyone who has a visa to live in Spain would have to apply for another visa to go to the UK and vice versa.
It's the same with my husbands spanish residence which would entitle him to travel anywhere in Europe, except the UK.
Also, even if you were lucky and left the UK they may not let her into the Canary Islands once you land. They are very strict over there and check all "foreign" passports thoroughly.
When we lived in Lanzarote we came to the UK for a holiday (my husband had a holiday visa). When we returned to Lanzarote we had trouble at passport control. They saw my husbands visa and told him he couldnt travel to the Canary Islands with a UK visa. We tried to explain that we lived in Lanzarote but they wouldn't listen. My husband was trying to find his spanish residence whilst this was happening. Residence was found and all was ok.
If you are still in doubt (the "rules" do change regularly) then contact the home office. If they don't know they can tell you who to ask. I've added their website for you.
Good luck x

Not without a Schengen hvisa. Spain is a Schengen State. Having just a visa for a non-Schengen EU country (like the UK) does not allow one to travel without a visa. A residence permit would. On the bright side, having a UK visa extension is very helpful in getting a Spanish (or other Schengen country) visa. You w4ill have no problems getting it. So go to the Spanish consulate asap. Oh, and don't forget to bring along any documents proving that she is legally your wife.

As far as I know you can travel to other european countries. My best friends' husband is Turkish and lives with her in Belfast. They have visited Prague and had no problems. It may be worth checking with the Embassy though.

yes, check the Embassy, because the UK is not a Schengen country. In my opinion, since she is a Turk, and no UK citizen yet, she has to take the visa..

the priority is your poem is in basic terms too long. it form of feels compelled and contrived. in basic terms write hi on extremely paper and hand it to her. Or draw a sprint smiley face on the backside of the subsequent to-do record you supply her. do no longer you already sign her verify besides? What else does she decide for from you?
