In a recent update posted on their verified Facebook page, VFS Global has announced an upcoming increase in Schengen visa fees. Effective from 11 June 2024, applicants seeking to obtain a Schengen visa will face higher charges as mandated by the EU Commission. This change affects both adult applicants and children aged between six and twelve years.
New Fee Structure:
- Adults: The fee will rise from 80 Euros to 90 Euros.
- Children (aged 6-12): The fee will increase from 40 Euros to 45 Euros.
These revised fees will apply to all Schengen visa applications lodged worldwide on or after the 11th of June, 2024.
This adjustment in visa fees is part of a broader effort by the EU Commission to align visa charges with current administrative costs and ensure efficient processing of applications.
VFS Global, the world’s largest outsourcing and technology services specialist for governments and diplomatic missions worldwide, advises all potential applicants to take note of the new fees and plan their visa applications accordingly.
For more detailed information regarding the fee increase and the application process, applicants are encouraged to visit the official VFS Global website at www.vfsglobal.com.
