Schengen visa: common questions
Can Travokit help me apply for a Schengen visa?
Yes. Travokit prepares a Schengen visa document pack for travellers applying from the GCC, Egypt, North Africa and Asia: a checklist built from verified requirements, a cover letter based only on your details, a day-by-day itinerary, and genuine hotel, flight and insurance documents from licensed partners. You submit the application yourself.
What do I need to provide myself for a Schengen visa?
Anything that must come from you or a third party, such as your passport, photos, bank statements, an employer letter and, if you live outside your home country, your residence permit. Your checklist lists exactly which apply to you. Travokit never creates these documents.
Does Travokit guarantee my Schengen visa?
No. Only the embassy or consulate decides. Travokit prepares your documents carefully but never promises an outcome.
How much does a Schengen area visa pack cost?
Launch prices per person are AED 119 (about $32) for Essentials, AED 249 (about $68) for Complete and AED 449 (about $122) for Premium. Embassy and visa centre fees are separate and paid by you.
