I have a quite specific issue here : I am living and working in London (I am French), and my friend would like to come for a few days. The thing is, my friend is Chinese, but is working in France for a few years, so she has French work permit, does she need to apply for a "Standard Visitor visa" anyway?
Precision: I know that Schengen and UK have different types of visa, but as she has a long-time permit in France, can she be considered differently than just a Chinese citizen?
