Global visa services

30 destinations, across Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America and Oceania. Schengen is one application, not 27 separate ones: a single visa covers every member state. Each destination has its own page with the documents and current position for that country.

One application covers every Schengen state, so there is no separate Italy or France visa to apply for. It is lodged with the country you are spending the most time in — or, when no single country dominates the trip, the one you enter first. We work out which consulate that is before you start, then handle the appointment and the paperwork from there.

Most applications need: Passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages; UAE residence visa copy (valid at least 3 months); Emirates ID copy (front and back); Recent passport-size photo to the required specification; Bank statements for the last 3-6 months; Employment contract or NOC letter from your employer; Confirmed flight and hotel reservations; Travel medical insurance for the trip duration. The exact list depends on the destination, your nationality and your purpose of travel, so we confirm it for your case before you start.

It depends on the destination, and only some governments publish a turnaround at all. Where a country does, the figure is shown on that country's page and labelled indicative: the issuing government sets the real processing time, and it varies with your nationality, the visa type and the season.

Where we publish a starting price, it is on the destination's page, with what it includes. Fees depend on the visa type, the government's own fees and the processing speed you choose, so we confirm the exact figure once we know your nationality, residency and travel dates, before anything is submitted.

Yes, like any booking with Holidayys. Tabby and Tamara split any amount, with no minimum. Bookings of AED 1,000 or more can also go on a 0% interest credit card plan from Emirates NBD, Liv, Mashreq, ADCB, HSBC and RAKBANK. The interest is 0%, though some banks charge a one-time processing fee; the amounts are on the instalments page.
