Visa Fee
Visa application centres (such as VFS Global or BLS) also charge a separate service fee, which differs by country. Check the exact amount on the centre’s website.
This checklist is for general guidance. Each Schengen country may ask for extra documents, so always check the embassy or visa centre’s own checklist.
Schengen Visa Fees
| Applicant | Visa Fee |
|---|---|
| Adults and children aged 12 or older | €90 |
| Children aged 6 to 11 | €45 |
| Children under 6 | Free |
Some applicants, such as school students on study trips, researchers and some family members of EU citizens, may pay a reduced fee or nothing at all. The visa centre’s service fee is charged separately.
Which Embassy Should You Apply To?
- One country: Apply to that country’s embassy or visa centre.
- Several countries: Apply to the country where you will spend the most nights.
- Equal nights in several countries: Apply to the country you will enter first.
Processing Time
A decision is usually made within 15 calendar days, but it can take up to 45 days in some cases. Apply at least 15 days before travel, and ideally 1–2 months before, especially during the summer.
