Schengen visit visa

See Paris and the Swiss Alps on one Schengen visa from Dubai

A Schengen visa from Dubai usually covers the whole Schengen area, so one trip can take in Paris, the Alps and more. Our visa team in Deira helps you prepare and file a complete application, so it has the best chance of approval.

Who it is for

UAE residents planning a holiday in Europe

Whether it is a city break in Paris or a road trip through the Alps, we help you apply for the visa that fits your trip.

Family visits and business trips

If you're visiting relatives or flying in for a meeting, tell us why you're travelling and we'll plan your application around it.

Ask us whether you qualify. We'll tell you on WhatsApp or by phone before you pay anything.

How we help

  1. We plan the application around your trip

    Tell us your dates and the countries you want to see. We tell you where to apply and what your file needs.

  2. We prepare your file with you

    We help you fill in the form and check every document, so nothing is missing when you submit.

  3. We help you get your appointment

    We look for the earliest slot that suits you, so you can apply in good time before you travel. Spain's visa centre asks you to book your own slot, so for Spain we show you how and get your file ready for the day.

Frequently asked questions

How do you give my Schengen visa its best chance?

We help you prepare a complete, careful application, so it goes in with the best chance of approval.

Which country do I apply to for a Schengen visa?

Apply to the country where you'll spend the most time. If you'll spend the same number of days in each country, apply to the one you'll visit first. We look at your plans and tell you which one it is.

How early can I apply for a Schengen visa?

No earlier than six months before your trip and at least 15 days before it. You may need to book an appointment first, so it pays to start early.

How long does a Schengen visa take?

The European Commission says the normal processing time is 15 days. It can be extended to 45 days when the consulate needs to look at your file more closely or asks for more documents.

How much is the Schengen visa fee?

The EU Visa Code sets €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6 to 11. Visa centres usually charge their own service fee on top. Our own price is separate. We tell you what it is before any work starts.

How long can I stay in Europe on a Schengen visa?

Up to 90 days in any 180-day period. A multiple-entry visa lets you make several visits for as long as it's valid.

Can I visit more than one Schengen country?

Yes. Plan your route first, because you apply to the country where you spend the most time. Our country pages show where to apply from the UAE for Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

Do I need travel insurance for a Schengen visa?

Yes. The European Commission asks for travel medical insurance that covers emergency care, hospital treatment and repatriation. Several consulates ask for at least €30,000 of cover.

What happens if my Schengen visa is refused?

The European Commission says you're told why and how to appeal. Send us the letter and we'll help you prepare a stronger application.

Can I pay for your visa service in instalments?

Yes. You can pay for our visa service and your flights in four instalments with Tabby or Tamara.
