Planning a Trip to Germany for the UEFA 2024

There is only one month left until the start of Euro 2024. It is very difficult to book hotels in one of the cities in Germany where the matches will be held as part of the championship, but still possible.

And don’t forget to obtain a Schengen visa, without which your trip to Europe will not take place. When applying to The Visa Services specialists, the visa processing time will take from two weeks, so we recommend not delaying and applying for a visa to Germany right now.

For those who, for some reason, postpone resolving visa issues until the last moment, an urgent visa service to Germany is available at The Visa Services, thanks to which you can get a stamp in your passport in just 2–3 days from the moment of application. However, due to the high number of people wanting to travel from Dubai to Europe in the summer period and the increased demand for available slots, we recommend not delaying and entrusting us with the preparation of documents right now!
