Schengen (Europe) Visa FAQ & Guidance

Which embassy should I submit my Schengen application to?

Submit to the consulate of the country where you stay the most nights. If spending equal nights in two countries, file with your first point of entry.

Do I need a Schengen visa if I hold a UAE residence visa?

It depends on your passport nationality, not your UAE residence status. UAE nationals travel visa-free; most expat residents need a visa.

How early can I submit my application?

Applications can be submitted up to 6 months prior to your intended travel date.

Is travel insurance mandatory?

Yes. Minimum â‚Ŧ30,000 medical coverage valid across all Schengen countries.
