Frequently asked questions

Visa assistance FAQs

General information only. Always check current requirements with the official embassy, consulate or authorised visa application centre for your destination.

Can UAE residents apply for international visit visas?

Yes. UAE residents generally apply for visit and tourist visas from the UAE, through the embassy, consulate or authorised visa application centre that serves their destination. Eligibility and requirements depend on your nationality, residence status and travel plans, so we start every case with a consultation and point you to the correct official channel.

Does my nationality affect visa requirements?

Yes — nationality is one of the most important factors. Some passport holders need a full visa, others may only need an electronic travel authorisation or may be exempt for short visits. Your UAE residence status and its remaining validity can also matter. Tell us your passport nationality and we will explain the general route for your destination.

Do you provide visa appointment booking assistance?

Yes. We help you locate and book available appointments through the official embassy or visa application centre booking systems. Appointment availability is controlled by those authorities and centres, so we cannot guarantee specific dates.

Can you assist with Schengen visa applications?

Yes. We assist with short-stay Schengen visit visa applications, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and other Schengen countries. In general, you apply to the country that is your main destination — or, if equal, your first point of entry — and we help you identify which one applies to your itinerary.

What documents are generally required?

Requirements vary by destination and nationality, but commonly include a valid passport, UAE residence visa and Emirates ID, photographs, a completed application form, bank statements, an employment or salary letter (or business documents), travel insurance where required, and travel reservations. Your consultant will give you the relevant checklist for your case and review your documents before submission.

How long does visa processing take?

Processing times are set by each embassy or consulate and change with season and demand, so we do not publish fixed timelines. We recommend applying well in advance of your travel date and checking the official website of your destination for current guidance. We will share what is officially stated for your application when we prepare it.

Are visa approvals guaranteed?

No. No agency can guarantee a visa. All decisions are made solely by the relevant immigration authorities. Our role is to help you submit a complete, accurate and well-organised application.

Can you help prepare cover letters and itineraries?

Yes. We prepare professional cover letters explaining the purpose of your trip and clear day-by-day travel itineraries that match your planned reservations. All information must be genuine and accurate.

Do applicants need to attend biometric appointments?

Many destinations require applicants to attend in person to give fingerprints and a photograph, either at a visa application centre or the embassy, and some also require an interview. Rules and exemptions differ by country and by applicant, and some countries reuse biometrics given recently. We will explain what applies to you.

How much does visa assistance cost?

Our service fee depends on the destination, visa category, number of applicants and complexity of the case, so we provide a personalised quotation before you commit. Government visa fees and embassy or visa application centre charges are separate and are set by those authorities.

How can I contact a visa consultant?

The quickest way is WhatsApp on +971 56 900 4773. You can also call the same number, email visa@shamsalmarjan.ae or submit the enquiry form on this page, and a consultant will get back to you.
