Schengen Visa - Longest needed!

I am permanent resident of UK. I am tired of applying for Schengen visas everytime I go to see a EU country. Sometimes, I only get a single entry visa for just a month!! :(

Can anyone let me know more information about countries that can give a longer visa? I'll be more than happy if the country grants the visa without any travel arrangements (like Spain). Also, please let me know if there are any countries that have moderate queues/no queues when applying.

Your help much appreciated!

Thanks
/M

    My other half has been given Schengen visas from the Spanish embassy a couple of times. I think they only give 3-month visas the first time you apply there, but after that they give you 6-month ones.... so I'd recommend trying there.

    I think you need to write to make an appointment.... go to their website for more details.

    Hope that helps,
