You apply at the embassy or visa centre of the country where you will spend the most time (or enter first, if stays are equal).

Which embassy should I apply to?
The embassy of the country where you will spend the most nights. If your stays are equal, apply to the country you enter first. We check your itinerary and choose correctly.
How early should I apply for a Schengen visa?
You can apply up to 6 months before travel and at least 15 days before. In summer, appointments fill up quickly, so we recommend applying 6–8 weeks early.
Why are Schengen appointments hard to get?
Demand in the UAE is very high, especially for France, Italy, Germany and Spain. We monitor slots daily and book as soon as one opens.
How much does a Schengen visa cost?
The total is the official visa fee (and visa-centre fee, if any) plus our service fee. We give you a clear quote on WhatsApp before you pay anything.
Can Travelax guarantee my Schengen visa?
No agency can honestly guarantee approval – the decision is made by the embassy or immigration authority. We make sure your application is complete and well prepared, which improves your chances.
