The European Commission on Wednesday decided to increase Schengen visa fees as of 11 June 2024, said the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in a press release.

The new Schengen visa fees will be EUR 90 for adults and EUR 45 for children, which was EUR 80 and 40 for adults and children respectively.

The increase will apply worldwide.

In line with the EU Visa Code, every three years the Commission assesses the need to revise the visa fee amounts.

In its assessment, the Commission takes into account objective criteria, such as the general Union-wide inflation rate as published by Eurostat and the weighted average of the salaries of national officials.
