Germany Visa from the UAE, Decided in Dubai

Germany runs its own application form, VIDEX, and your emirate of residence decides which centre you must use. The consular fee is EUR 90, roughly AED 385, and VFS Global charges AED 110 to 150 on top depending on the centre. We complete the form, book the right centre and prepare the file the consulate expects.

Germany Visa Process

From your first consultation to a decision, we handle every step with you so nothing gets missed.

01

We complete your VIDEX form

Germany uses its own online form at videx.diplo.de rather than the generic Schengen one. We fill it and print the signed copy VFS asks for.

02

We check your timing

Germany will not accept an application more than 180 days before you travel. We confirm your dates fall inside that window before booking.

03

We book the right centre

Dubai and the Northern Emirates submit in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain in Abu Dhabi. Turning up at the wrong one costs you the appointment.

04

We build the document file

Cover letter, financial evidence, flight reservation, hotel booking, insurance and itinerary, in the order the consulate reads them.

05

You attend and give biometrics

You hand over the file and give fingerprints. First-time Schengen applicants only.

06

Dubai decides, we track it

Every UAE application is decided by the German Consulate General in Dubai, wherever you submitted. We follow it to the decision.

Germany Visa Document Requirements

Everything you need to prepare for a smooth application, organized by category.

Personal Documents

Every Germany applicant needs these, whatever your nationality.

  • Passport valid for at least 3 months beyond your return date, with two blank pages
  • Two recent passport photos, 35mm x 45mm, on a white background
  • Emirates ID, copies of both sides
  • Copy of your UAE residence visa
  • Completed Schengen application form, which we fill in for you
Financial Documents

The embassy needs to see that you can pay for the trip yourself, and that you have solid reasons to come back to the UAE.

  • Three months of bank statements, stamped by your bank
  • Salary certificate on company letterhead showing your role and salary
  • No Objection Certificate from your employer confirming your leave is approved
  • Payslips for the last three months if you are employed
  • Trade licence copy if you run your own business
  • Audited accounts or tax returns if you are self-employed
Travel Documents

These show the embassy a trip that is actually planned. You will need a flight reservation and a hotel booking; we tell you exactly what format the embassy expects.

  • Flight reservation in a format Schengen embassies accept
  • Hotel confirmation covering every night you are away
  • Travel insurance with at least EUR 30,000 of cover, valid across the Schengen area
  • A day-by-day plan of your trip
  • Invitation letter if you are staying with family or friends
What Germany Asks For Specifically

These are the Germany requirements that catch out applicants who prepared a generic Schengen file.

  • A completed VIDEX form from videx.diplo.de, printed and signed. The generic Schengen form is not accepted
  • An application date no more than 180 days before you travel, which Germany enforces strictly
  • Submission at the centre matching your emirate of residence, not the one nearest you
  • Passport valid at least three months beyond the date you leave the Schengen Area
  • Travel insurance covering EUR 30,000 in medical expenses across all 29 Schengen states

Germany Visa: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Germany visas. If you don't see your question, get in touch and our specialists respond within minutes.

VIDEX is Germany's own online visa application form at videx.diplo.de, and it is mandatory. Germany does not accept the generic Schengen application form used by other consulates. You complete it online, print it and sign it, and VFS will not take your file without it.
Your emirate of residence decides, not your convenience. If you live in Dubai or the Northern Emirates you submit in Dubai. If you live in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain you submit in Abu Dhabi. Turning up at the wrong centre means losing the appointment and rebooking.
The German Consulate General in Dubai decides every application from the UAE, including files submitted at the Abu Dhabi centre. VFS only collects documents and biometrics and forwards them. The centre you attend has no bearing on the outcome.
No earlier than 180 days before you travel, and Germany enforces that limit. Apply at least four weeks ahead so there is room if the consulate asks for more documents. Processing takes up to 15 days once your file reaches the consulate.
Yes. The Dubai consulate reserves the right to request additional documents or call you in, usually where the purpose of travel or the funding is unclear. It is uncommon with a complete file, which is the main reason we check the whole thing before submission.
Yes, and picking the right consulate matters. Four nights in Berlin and two in Prague makes Germany your main destination, so you apply to Germany and then travel freely across all 29 Schengen states. Applying to the wrong consulate for your itinerary is itself a ground for refusal.
Yes. VFS checks the reservation against the travel dates on your VIDEX form, so the two need to agree. It has to carry a real booking reference the consulate can verify with the airline. Your package includes the reservation, booked in that format and handed over ready to submit.
The consular fee and the VFS charge are not refundable, because the Dubai consulate sets that rule rather than us. Our fee covers the work of preparing and filing your application, and no provider can guarantee the decision. Every Schengen refusal comes with a written notice and a right to appeal or remonstrate with the consulate. If that route is open we prepare the appeal for you. Whatever the route, you get a written analysis of the refusal grounds and the specific changes the next file has to make.
