Essential Information on Schengen Visa for UAE Residents

The processing time for a Schengen visa in Dubai typically takes 15 to 30 days, depending on the consulate and application volume. Early application is recommended to avoid delays.
The fees for a Schengen visa vary depending on the applicant’s age, nationality, and the type of visa being applied for.

  • UAE Residence Visa: Valid for at least three months beyond intended departure from Schengen states.
  • Bank Statement: Stamped, showing transactions for the last 3 or 6 months.
  • No-Objection Certificate (NOC): Signed & stamped by the employer, including the signatory’s name and position. Business owners/self-employed must also provide a stamped and signed NOC with a Commercial Trade License.
  • Travel Medical Insurance: Covering the entire trip duration.
  • Proof of Accommodation: Tenancy contract or title deed. If unavailable, an explanation letter is required.

UAE residents with foreign nationality must apply for a Schengen Visa from the UAE to travel to European countries under the Schengen area. UAE nationals need not apply for a Schengen visa for short-term visits from the UAE.

You can apply for a Schengen visa up to 6 months before your intended travel date. However, it is advisable to apply at least 3 to 4 weeks prior to your trip to allow sufficient time for processing.

Yes, a Schengen visa allows you to travel freely within the 29 Schengen countries.

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for all Schengen visa applicants.

If your application is rejected, you can reapply after addressing the reasons for rejection or appeal the decision.

Yes, you can get an urgent Schengen appointment and you can get your visa within the next 15 days

June to September is the best time to visit the Schengen area from the UAE.

With a single-entry visa, you can enter the Schengen area only once. Whereas a multiple-entry Schengen visa allows for several entries during the validity of the visa.

Generally, the chances of approval or refusal are equal when it comes to Schengen Visa. However, countries like France, Italy, Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain, Switzerland, etc. are typically known to be very flexible for first-time applicants such as yourself.

No, there is no requirement that all applicants attend a personal interview. However, you might be called if there is any issue with your documents.

There is no specific requirement for how much your salary should be. However, the higher your salary and job position, the better your chances of approval.

We cannot control the validity of the visa; ultimately, it is at the discretion of the visa officer. However, from our side, we can provide a one-year insurance policy and request a longer validity in the application and cover letter. These actions may encourage the visa officer to grant a longer-validity visa.

As this is your first Schengen visa, we recommend entering the issuing country first. This can be advantageous for future visa applications.
