Schengen Visa from UAE

Applying from the UAE can be confusing — requirements differ for every embassy. We handle your documents, appointments and submission so you get your Schengen visa, hassle-free.

A Schengen visa lets you travel freely between the 29 countries of the Schengen Area on a single visa. It is issued by the embassy or consulate of the country where you will spend the most days, and for UAE residents the paperwork, appointment and submission differ from embassy to embassy. Our team confirms the right embassy for your trip, prepares your file and tracks it through to the decision.

Eligibility

Schengen visitor visas are open to UAE residents who can show a genuine travel purpose, the means to fund the trip and clear reasons to return.

  UAE residents who are not visa-exempt nationals need a Schengen visa to enter the Schengen Area for tourism, business or study.

Important notes

Apply at least 15 working days before travel; during summer and holiday seasons embassies are booked much further ahead. Visa decisions rest solely with the embassy or consulate.

Refund policy

Service fees cover the preparation work and are non-refundable once your file has been submitted. Embassy and visa centre fees are collected by the authorities and cannot be refunded on a refusal.
