From the United Arab Emirates to the Netherlands and applying for a Schengen visa
Do you want to travel from the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi (main emirate), Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Qaywayn, Ras al-Khaimah and Fujairah) to the Netherlands? A Schengen visa and medical travel insurance is then required!
For the application for a Schengen visa from the UAE to the Netherlands you also have a mandatory one medical travel insurance necessary. You can close it here for your guests from UAE for only € 3 per person per day.
A visa is an official permission to enter and stay in a country. A visa is usually issued by the embassy or consulate of the country the traveler is going to. The issuance of a visa is subject to rules. There are also different visas, the issue of which is determined by the purpose of the trip.
What is a short-stay Schengen visa?
A Schengen visa is actually nothing more than a sticker in the passport of foreign travelers visiting the Netherlands or other Schengen countries. Formally, the name of a Schengen visa is: 'Visa Short Stay Type C'. but the term 'Schengen visa' or 'Schengen visa' is somewhat easier.
A Schengen visa sticker in your passport gives access to the 26 Schengen Member States in Europe. You can travel through a large part of Europe with a Schengen visa without having to apply for a separate visa for each country.
How long is a Schengen visa valid for?
Stay in the Schengen area is limited to a maximum of 90 days in any 180-day period. This means that someone who has been in the Schengen area for 90 days cannot return until they have been outside the area for 90 days. The Schengen visa is, in principle, valid for 6 months from the date of issue. The stay in the Schengen area must take place within these 6 months. The return journey may therefore not take place after the expiry date. The European Commission has one calculator developed to check whether someone's stay is still within 180 days.
Where should I apply for a Schengen visa?
You must apply for a Schengen visa at the embassy of the country you intend to visit. If you plan to visit several Schengen states, you must apply for the visa at the embassy of the Schengen country where you will be staying the longest. If you plan to visit several Schengen states and will stay for the same length of time, you must apply for a visa at the embassy of the country whose external borders you will cross first upon entering the Schengen area.
