All figures are our service fee only, in AED. Government visa fees are passed through at cost. You pay exactly what we pay, with receipts. Your VFS appointment and travel insurance are included in the service package, except Essentials, where you book the appointment yourself. For the UK and Canada, processing begins only once all required documents and paperwork have been fully submitted to our team.
The number you see is the number you pay. No 'contact us for a quote', no fee that appears only after you've handed over documents.
If we can't reserve your appointment slot in time for your travel dates, you get a full refund of our service fee. The guarantee is written into every engagement.

Your VFS appointment and travel insurance are included in the package, except Essentials, where you book the appointment yourself. You see the full figure before you commit to anything.
No promise on the decision. The outcome belongs to the embassy or consulate, never to us. We will never tell you otherwise to win your business.
A French entrepreneur, Ms Martin spent years working in local government in France before moving to the UAE, where she picked up the local Emirati dialect along the way. It was that earlier work that showed her, up close, how a missing document or an unclear step can throw someone's plans off course. Given the choice between staying behind a desk and being the person people actually talk to, she always chose the second: understanding what's stuck, and helping them through it. After four years of experience in this sector, she built Al Tareeq Al Lamea around that same instinct: clarity, and honesty about what's realistic.
A visa is rarely the destination: it's the road to a new job, a reunion, the trip you've been planning for years. Our name is our promise about that road: to keep it clear, to light every step, and to get you to the stamp in your passport without the detours most people expect. The bright path, from the first message to the day you travel.
Google-verified service-area business. Every claim on this page is checkable against the public register.
A storefront in DIFC would cost you, not us: that cost gets baked silently into every fee. We're remote-first by design, so your money goes to the application, not the rent. We come to you: WhatsApp, video, secure upload.
Al Tareeq Al Lamea is a DET-licensed, Google-verified visa and travel documentation consultancy based in Dubai, serving clients across Dubai and Abu Dhabi (Trade License No. 1454717, verifiable on the official Dubai DET register). Founded by consultants with four years of prior visa industry experience, the agency offers transparent, published pricing with no hidden fees: Schengen visa packages start at AED 350 and go up to AED 1,900 for full VIP handling; UK and Canada visas start at AED 950; US visas start at AED 450, with additional destinations available from AED 150. Government visa fees go to the authority, not to us: we list them separately, at cost, with a receipt whenever we pay them for you. The VFS appointment and travel insurance are included in the service package, except Essentials, where you book the appointment yourself. Every engagement includes a Service Assurance guarantee: if the agency fails to secure the client's appointment within the agreed timeframe, the full service fee is refunded. The entire process runs remotely via WhatsApp Business and secure document upload, with no office visit required.
Remote consultancy serving clients across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. No office visit required.
As a guide: Schengen takes around 15 days, the UK around 20 days, and Canada around 30 days. For the US, the embassy usually responds the same day or the day before your interview. We confirm a realistic window for your specific case before you start.
If we can't reserve your appointment slot in time for your travel dates, or deliver within the timeline we agreed, you receive a full refund of our service fee. It's straightforward and written into every engagement. The one thing it can't override is the embassy's own decision, which is always theirs to make.
No, and that's deliberate. Our published figure is our service fee only. Government visa fees go to the authority, not to us. We show them separately, at cost, with a receipt whenever we pay them for you, so nothing is marked up quietly. Your VFS appointment and travel insurance are included in the service package, except Essentials, where you book the appointment yourself. You always see the full total before any payment.
Yes. We keep every client's documents in a separate, secure folder: your passport and personal documents stay protected and are used only for your application, never shared elsewhere.
Everything happens over WhatsApp Business and a secure document upload: no office visit needed. You message us, we screen eligibility, you upload documents once, and we provide document and appointment assistance; you submit the file and attend in person yourself, while we keep you updated at each stage.
It's an advantage. A physical storefront is overhead that consultancies bake silently into their fees. We're a registered, DET-licensed service-area business that comes to you, so your money goes toward the application itself rather than rent in a tower.
Our Schengen visa service fees range from AED 350 for document checking and guidance up to AED 1,900 for our VIP package with a 5-day appointment and dedicated case manager. The Schengen consulate visa fee (currently EUR 90 per adult, increased from EUR 80 in June 2024) goes to the authority, not to us. We show it separately, at cost, with a receipt whenever we pay it for you. Your VFS appointment and travel insurance are included in the service package, except Essentials, where you book the appointment yourself.
We serve expats, UAE nationals, businesses and individuals alike. Our service isn't limited to any one nationality or profile: we assist with tourist and business visa applications for anyone based in the UAE.

Yes. Everything runs through WhatsApp and secure document upload: eligibility screening, document review, and appointment slot reservation. You submit your file and attend your own biometric appointment at VFS or the embassy in person yourself; we reserve the slot for you in advance.
Our UK visitor visa service fees are AED 950 (Standard, appointment in under a month), AED 1,400 (Priority, under 15 days) or AED 2,500 (Express, under 5 days). For 2 or more applicants travelling together, Couple and Family is AED 650 per person. The UK government's own visa fee (from £135 for a 6-month visa up to £1,128 for a 10-year visa, increased in April 2026) is separate and paid directly to the UK government.
Our US B1/B2 visitor visa service fees are AED 450 (Standard), AED 2,450 (Express) or AED 360 per person for families of 3 or more (Family). The US government's visa fee (MRV) is separate: USD 185, about AED 680 per applicant, mandatory and not refundable. You can pay it yourself or through us, at exact cost.
During high season, especially over the summer months, demand for visa appointments increases sharply across many destinations as families and business travelers in the UAE plan their trips. This higher volume of applications naturally extends visa appointment wait times, particularly for popular Schengen countries, the UK, and Canada. Appointment availability can shift from week to week, so checking regularly and applying as early as possible gives you the best chance of securing a suitable appointment slot.
No, wait times vary significantly by destination and can change frequently. Some Schengen countries see visa appointment slots become harder to find during high season due to seasonal demand. For the United States, current appointment availability can extend much further out, and timelines depend on factors specific to each consulate. Because these timelines shift often, we recommend contacting us directly for the most current visa appointment wait times for your destination.
The best way to protect your travel plans is to start your visa application process as early as possible, well before you book your appointment. Preparing your documents and application in advance means that as soon as a suitable appointment slot becomes available, you're ready to book it immediately, with no time lost.
