What are the visa fees for Dubai, Schengen, UK and other destinations from India?

Dubai (UAE) 30-day tourist is a flat ₹7,599 all-inclusive at NextQuest — embassy and service charge in one number. Other indicative embassy fees: Saudi Arabia eVisa ≈ ₹9,500, Schengen €90 (≈ ₹9,300), UK Standard Visitor ≈ ₹14,000, Thailand ≈ ₹2,500, Malaysia ≈ ₹3,500, plus our service fee of ₹1,000–₹2,500 depending on the country. Embassy fees change without notice; the Visa Application Centre shows the current fee per country before you apply, and our Visa Fees from India guide compares them all.

How long does a visit visa take for Dubai, Saudi Arabia or other countries?

Indicative timelines from our visa desk: UAE (Dubai) tourist visa 3–5 working days, Saudi tourist visa 4–7 working days, Thailand 3–4 working days, Malaysia 2–3 working days, and Schengen / UK / USA typically 15–30 working days depending on appointment availability. Timelines start once your documents are complete — our Visa Application Centre gives you a per-country checklist and fee estimate before you apply, and you can track every stage with your NQ-V reference.

What documents do I need for a visa application?

The basics are a passport valid for 6+ months, photographs, bank statements and travel details — but every country has its own checklist. When you start an application in our Visa Application Centre, you see the exact documents required for your chosen country and upload them securely. A consultant reviews everything before submission to the embassy.

What is included in your tour packages?

Our packages typically include accommodation, airport transfers, sightseeing with entry tickets and a day-wise itinerary. Flights and visas can be added on request — every package card shows its highlights, and the final quotation lists exactly what is and isn't included before you pay. Hotels, pace and experiences are all customisable.

Can I customise a package or build my own itinerary?

Yes — customisation is our speciality. Honeymoons, family groups, corporate retreats and multi-country trips are built around your dates, budget and interests. Use the 'Build My Custom Package' option or WhatsApp us your dates and we'll design the itinerary with a firm quote.

How much does it cost to study abroad, and am I eligible?

Indicative total annual budgets (tuition + living): USA ₹25–55 lakhs, UK ₹20–40 lakhs, Canada ₹18–35 lakhs, Australia ₹20–38 lakhs, Germany ₹8–15 lakhs (low/no tuition at public universities). Eligibility depends on your academics, English test scores and finances — try our free AI Eligibility Check for an instant assessment, or book a session with a certified counsellor.

Are CleverPrep and EduMilestones part of NextQuest?

They are our official partner portals. CleverPrep handles test preparation (IELTS, PTE, GRE, GMAT, SAT) and EduMilestones provides AI-powered career profiling and counselling. You can access both directly from the Portals section on our home page.

What are your payment and cancellation terms?

Bookings are confirmed with an advance (typically 25–50% depending on the service), with the balance due before travel or visa submission. We never take payment before sharing a written quotation. Cancellation refunds follow airline, hotel and embassy policies — visa fees are non-refundable once an application is submitted. Full terms are shared in writing with every quote.

Do you arrange Umrah packages, and what do they include?

Yes — we run guided group Umrah departures from Hyderabad and fully private family trips year-round. Packages include the Umrah visa, return flights, hotels in Makkah and Madinah (distance from the Haram stated upfront), transfers and guided ziyarat. See our dedicated Umrah page for packages and day-wise itineraries.

Are visa fees refunded if my application is rejected?

No — embassy fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome, which is standard worldwide. That's exactly why our consultants review every file against common refusal triggers before submission.

Why do Schengen and UK visa fees keep changing in INR?

Both are charged in foreign currency (€90 and GBP respectively), so the rupee amount shifts with exchange rates. We confirm the exact INR payable on the day we file your application.

Do children pay full visa fees?

It depends on the destination — for Schengen, children aged 6–12 pay half the embassy fee and under-6s are free; other countries have their own concessions. Tell us your family composition and we'll quote exact figures.

Visa Fees from India 2026: Dubai, Schengen, UK, Saudi & More (INR)

A vintage Europe travel collage with passport stamps and postcards

The most-googled visa question from India is simply 'how much does it cost?' Here's the honest answer for every destination our visa desk files daily — embassy fees in INR, our transparent service fee, and realistic timelines, all in one comparison.

Visa fees from India at a glance (indicative, 2026)

All figures are indicative: embassy fees change without notice, and GBP/EUR prices move with the exchange rate. Your written quotation from us always shows the exact current total before you pay anything.

Dubai (UAE) 30-day tourist: ₹7,599 flat, all-inclusive · 3–4 working days
Saudi Arabia tourist eVisa: ≈ ₹9,500 embassy + ₹1,500 service · 2–4 working days
Schengen (Europe): €90 ≈ ₹9,300 embassy + ₹2,500 service · 10–15 working days
UK Standard Visitor (6-month): ≈ ₹14,000 embassy + ₹2,500 service · ~15 working days
Thailand tourist: ≈ ₹2,500 embassy + ₹1,000 service · 3–4 working days
Malaysia tourist: ≈ ₹3,500 embassy + ₹1,000 service · 2–3 working days

What the embassy fee doesn't cover

Budget beyond the sticker fee: visa-centre handling charges (VFS/BLS for Europe and UK), mandatory travel insurance for Schengen, biometric appointment logistics, and document preparation. Our service fee bundles the work that actually gets visas approved — checklist verification, cover letters, itinerary building and a consultant's review of your financials.

The cheapest visas from India

Thailand and Malaysia are the most affordable at under ₹5,000 all-in, while Dubai is a flat ₹7,599 all-inclusive at NextQuest. Europe and the UK cost more upfront but cover 29 countries (Schengen) or offer long multi-year validity (UK 2/5/10-year options), which frequent travellers find better value over time.

How to apply without paying twice

Embassy fees are non-refundable if a visa is refused — which is why the filing quality matters more than the fee. Start in our Visa Application Centre: pick a country, see its live fee card and document checklist, upload securely, and let a consultant refusal-proof the file before the embassy ever sees it.
