Common Questions
Schengen Protocol 2026
Can I apply if my EID expires in 2 months?
No. The Consulate requires your UAE Residence Visa and Emirates ID to be valid for at least 3 months AFTER your return date from the Schengen area.
What is the average processing time?
While the standard is 15 calendar days, it can extend to 45 days if the embassy requires additional checks. We recommend applying 6-8 weeks before your trip.
Do I need to visit BLS in person?
Yes. All applicants aged 12 and above must visit the BLS center in person for biometric enrollment (fingerprints and photo) unless they have had biometrics taken in the last 59 months.
Can I enter France first with a Spain visa?
Yes, but Spain must be your main destination (where you spend the most nights). If spending equal time in both, Spain must be your first point of entry.
What if my bank statement is from an online app?
Online printouts are usually rejected. You must provide original bank statements stamped by the bank for the last 3 to 6 months.
Is the visa fee refundable?
No. Both the embassy fee and the BLS service fee are non-refundable, regardless of whether the visa is granted or refused.
