For other destinations, start with the embassy’s UAE website. This is a selected directory, not a live appointment service. Globi does not book appointments.

Book through the official route

Start with the destination’s embassy instructions. Check which centre serves your UAE residence, then confirm the address and arrival time on your booking. Appointment availability changes; there is no guaranteed release schedule.

Check whether new fingerprints are needed

Fingerprints recorded for a Schengen application within the previous 59 months may be reused. The consulate can still ask for new fingerprints or your attendance. Children under 12 are exempt from fingerprint collection. Follow the instructions for your application.

Bring the file your checklist asks for

Check the current document list, payment method and security rules before your visit. Bring originals and copies where requested. Premium lounge or courier services do not change the embassy’s decision or its processing time.
