Get Your Schengen Visa from Dubai with Expert Guidance

First identify the correct Schengen country based on your itinerary. Prepare the application form and supporting documents, then follow that country's official submission process in the UAE. Applications may be lodged at a consulate or through its authorized external service provider, depending on the country.

Typical documents include a valid passport, application form, photographs, insurance, financial evidence and travel details. Requirements vary depending on the applicant and destination. See our complete Schengen visa requirements guide for detailed guidance.

The normal decision period is 15 calendar days after an admissible application is lodged. It may be extended up to 45 days when a more detailed examination or additional documents are required.

The standard short-stay visa fee is currently €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6 to 12. Different or waived fees apply to certain categories and nationalities. An authorized visa service centre may also charge a separate service fee.

If you visit more than one Schengen country, apply to the country where you will spend the longest time. If the stays are equal in length, apply through the country you will visit first.

Yes. Previous travel history is not a universal requirement for submitting a Schengen visa application. Your application should still clearly demonstrate the purpose of travel, financial means, accommodation and other required supporting evidence.

A Schengen visa may be issued for one or multiple entries. The competent authority decides the visa type and validity based on the applicable rules and the individual application.

There is no single Schengen-wide bank balance amount that applies to every applicant. You must provide evidence of sufficient financial means, while the required amount and acceptable proof can vary by destination country and circumstances.

No, not usually if your UAE residence permit does not meet the required validity period. Many Schengen countries require your UAE residence permit to remain valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned return date. Requirements can vary by destination, so check the rules of the Schengen country you are applying to. If your residence permit does not meet the required validity, you may need to renew it before applying.

The correct submission channel depends on the Schengen country handling your application. It may be the competent consulate or an authorized external visa application provider. Always use the destination country's official website to confirm the current location and booking process.

Yes. Family members can plan applications together, but each traveller normally has an individual visa application and must meet the applicable requirements. Rules and exemptions can differ for some family members of EU or EEA citizens.

No. Royal Walk or any other visa consultant cannot guarantee approval. The competent consulate or visa authority makes the final decision. Professional assistance can help you prepare a clearer and more complete application, but it cannot control the outcome.

You may lodge a Schengen visa application up to six months before your intended journey and should normally submit it at least 15 days before travel. Applying earlier can leave more time for appointment availability and possible additional checks.

Yes. Royal Walk can assist applicants who have had a previous Schengen visa refusal. Our team can review your previous application and refusal details, identify areas that may need attention, and guide you in preparing a new application based on your current circumstances.

Please note that every application is assessed independently by the relevant embassy or consulate.

If your UAE residence visa is close to expiry, Royal Walk currently does not provide assistance for this type of case. The applicable requirements can depend on your destination and individual circumstances, so you should ensure your residence status meets the relevant application requirements before proceeding.
