The standard Schengen visa fee for Germany is €90 for adults and €45 for children aged 6 to 11 years, payable in UAE Dirhams at the time of application. Children under 6 are exempt from fees. In addition, applicants must pay a VFS Global service fee, which covers administrative handling of the application. Fees are non-refundable, even if the visa is refused. Certain categories, such as students, researchers, or children under specific EU agreements, may be eligible for reduced or waived fees.
