FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Answers to what applicants ask most often.
Apply to the country where you will spend the most nights, or the country of the main purpose of your trip. If your nights are equal, apply to the first Schengen country you will enter.
Switzerland handles Schengen visas for Liechtenstein. In Saudi Arabia, you apply at the Switzerland visa centre (VFS Global) in Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam, and the Embassy of Switzerland decides on your application. We prepare your file and book the appointment for you.
You can apply up to 6 months before your trip, and no later than 15 days before it. The Swiss Embassy recommends applying about 6 weeks before you travel, because appointments can be limited in busy seasons. If your trip starts in less than 15 days, the centre may refuse to accept your file.
The Swiss Embassy usually decides within 10 to 15 days after your appointment at the centre. It can take longer in busy periods such as summer and school holidays, and the embassy can ask for more documents or an interview. Book non-refundable flights and hotels only after your visa is issued.
It depends on the visa you receive. The Swiss Embassy decides how many days you can stay, the visa dates and the number of entries. It can be less than 90 days, for example only the dates of your trip. Check three fields on your visa sticker: Duration of stay (days), From / Until, and Number of entries. The maximum is 90 days in any 180-day period, even with a multiple-entry visa. If your visa is shorter than your trip, change your return date: staying longer can lead to fines and refusal of future visas.
Saudi citizens living in Saudi Arabia who meet the requirements usually receive a multiple-entry visa valid for 5 years, or until 3 months before the passport expires if that is sooner. Residents of other nationalities usually receive a visa for their trip dates; after using previous Schengen visas correctly, they can receive longer multiple-entry visas. The final decision is always the embassy's.
Yes. A Schengen visa lets you travel in all 29 Schengen countries, unless your visa sticker says otherwise. On this trip, Liechtenstein should stay your main destination, as stated in your application.
Prices start from 545 SAR for adults with the Basic package. The official visa fee is 390 SAR for adults, 195 SAR for children aged 6–12 and free under 6. It is included in the Normal and Premium packages; with Basic it is paid separately. Open the Prices tab and tap Price breakdown to see exactly what each price includes.
Yes, if your fingerprints were not taken for a Schengen visa in the last 59 months. You visit the VFS Global centre in Riyadh, Jeddah or Dammam to submit your file and give your fingerprints and photo. If your fingerprints were taken in the last 59 months, your file can be submitted by a representative. Children under 12 do not give fingerprints. We book your appointment and prepare your file.
Yes. The Swiss Embassy asks for all documents to be in English or translated into English. We translate the documents in your file for you.
The refusal letter explains the reason, and how and by when you can appeal. You can appeal, or apply again with a stronger file, and we help you with both. Our service fee is retained, and the official visa fee is not refunded by the embassy.
