If you live in Saudi Arabia and need a short-stay (Type C) Schengen visa, you apply through the consulate of your main destination country, and you book the appointment through an application centre such as VFS Global, TLScontact or BLS International in Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar or Dammam. This is the same whether you hold a Saudi passport or live here on a valid Iqama (residence permit) with another passport. xVisa monitors those centres around the clock, secures the earliest appointment with AutoBooking, checks your documents against the consulate's rules and stays with you to the decision. The consulate makes the visa decision; we speed up the process and take the stress off you. On a Saudi passport, or resident here on an Iqama with an Indian, Pakistani, Egyptian, Filipino or other passport — you apply from Saudi Arabia, through the application centres in Riyadh, Jeddah, Al Khobar and Dammam. xVisa scans every centre at once, takes the first suitable date and prepares your file to consulate standards. Honest service, the same for everyone: no queue-jumping and no priority for sale.

Appointments
Can't find an appointment? Let's catch an earlier date.
Schengen appointments from Saudi Arabia fill up fast: for popular countries, dates can close the moment they open, and some centres show a "waitlist" for weeks. Refreshing three different centre pages by hand every day is tiring and usually gets you nowhere. Instead, xVisa scans every suitable centre for you around the clock. When a date opens, AutoBooking secures the earliest suitable appointment; you just prepare your documents and we handle the rest. We show you the real data — how quickly we typically secure a slot (Booking Speed) and how far out the earliest date is (Appointment Lead) — instead of vague "we'll sort it fast" promises.
We do not guarantee any specific slot or date; we do not sell queue-jumping or priority slots.

Fees
Fees: the Schengen visa fee and the xVisa service fee
The total cost has three parts: the consulate visa fee, the application-centre service fee, and (if you use it) the xVisa service fee.
Application-centre service fee (VFS Global / TLScontact / BLS International) — Varies by centre and country — Stated on the centre's website/office.
No hidden fees.
Official fees and centre charges can change — verify on the consulate/centre website before applying.
- Short-stay Schengen visas are usually decided within about 15 calendar days of the appointment; in peak periods this can stretch to 45 days. You can apply at most 6 months before your trip. Finding an appointment is a separate matter — the real bottleneck is usually the appointment, not the processing.
- Apply as early as possible; leave a buffer.
- In peak season (summer, public holidays) appointments get even scarcer — act early.
- To reduce the delay on the appointment side, let xVisa monitor availability for you.
- These times are informational and vary by consulate; they are not a guarantee.
- Schengen visa fee (consulate, official)
- €90
- Children aged 6 to 12 pay €45, and children under 6 pay nothing.
- Set by the Schengen states in euro and collected in local currency by the visa centre on the consulate's behalf.
- Application-centre service fee (VFS Global / TLScontact / BLS International)
- Varies by centre and is added by the centre itself, separately from the visa fee.
- xVisa service fee

Eligibility
Who can apply from Saudi Arabia?
Eligibility and the required residence documents can vary by consulate — confirm the exact list with the consulate.
- A Saudi citizen resident in Saudi Arabia who needs a short-stay (Type C) Schengen visa.
- A holder of another country's passport with a valid Saudi residence permit (Iqama) — for example an Indian, Pakistani, Egyptian or Filipino resident.
- Travelling for tourism, a business meeting, a family/friend visit or a short event.
- You have no legal residence in Saudi Arabia (you normally apply from the country where you live).
- You need a long-stay (Type D) national visa for stays over 90 days, work or study — that is a different process.
The basics
An end-to-end Schengen visa service for residents of Saudi Arabia
xVisa is an end-to-end service for people applying for a short-stay Schengen visa from Saudi Arabia: we find the earliest appointment, prepare your application file to the consulate's rules, and support you until the decision. This is not just an app that pings you about slots — it is a team that stays with you across the whole application.
We are an independent service; we are not affiliated with VFS Global, TLScontact, BLS International or any consulate.
- People living in Saudi Arabia who are travelling to the Schengen area for tourism, business, a family visit or a short event.
- Saudi passport holders, and holders of other passports with a valid Saudi residence permit (Iqama).
- Anyone struggling to find an appointment, or who wants the process done correctly and on time.
Where to apply
Which Schengen country should you apply through?
The rule is clear: apply to the consulate of your main destination (the country where you'll spend the most nights). If nights are equal, apply to the country of first entry. If you're only transiting through a country, it does not count as your "main destination".
Example 1 — clear main destination
5 nights in Italy, 1 night in France → Italy consulate.
Example 2 — equal nights
3 nights in the Netherlands, 3 nights in Sweden, first landing in Amsterdam → Netherlands (first entry).
Documents
Documents you need (checklist) and common mistakes
The exact list varies by country and purpose — always confirm on the relevant consulate's website.

- Applying through the wrong country (not following the main-destination rule).
- Leaving the appointment too late, so there isn't enough time.
