Budgeting for your Schengen application

Separate document preparation from visa fees, centre charges and travel costs.

Budgeting for your Schengen application

The visa fee

The standard short-stay visa fee is €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6–11. Children under 6 are exempt from the visa fee, and other exemptions or special arrangements can apply. Follow the official provider’s current payment currency, amount and instructions.

Other costs to plan for

A visa centre may charge a service fee. Travel medical insurance, translations, certification and optional courier services can add costs. Prices depend on the provider and your circumstances; there is no single all-in consular price.

Globi’s service fee

AED 249 per applicant covers the application form, cover letter, itinerary and flight and hotel reservations, plus document review. Travel insurance is an optional extra. Embassy and centre fees, appointment booking and the visa decision remain separate.

Review cancellation terms before committing to travel bookings. Check the refund policy for the preparation service separately from airline, hotel or visa-centre terms.
