What is the cost of a visa for family members of EU citizens?

Family members of EU/EEA citizens usually do not pay any Schengen visa fee. This exemption exists to support free movement rights under EU law. Here’s what you need to know 👇 🆓 1. The visa is FREE for qualifying family members If you are an eligible family member of an EU or EEA citizen, the embassy fee is fully waived. You pay zero Schengen visa fee. This applies to: • Spouses • Registered partners • Children under 21 • Dependent children (any age) • Dependent parents • Dependent grandparents (in some cases) The EU citizen cannot be from the country you are applying to. Example: A Malaysian married to a French citizen applies at the France embassy → fee waived. But a Malaysian married to a German living in Germany applies at Germany → also waived. 🧾 2. You still need to show proof of relationship To qualify, you must provide: • Marriage certificate • Birth certificate (for children) • Proof of dependency (if applicable) • Passport/ID copy of the EU citizen • Proof that you are travelling together or to join them Outbound Singapore helps ensure all documents follow embassy requirements — especially translations and legalisation. 💼 3. Service fees at VFS/TLS may still apply Even though the embassy fee is free, visa centers still charge: • Service fees • SMS updates • Courier return fees (optional) These are paid separately. 📝 4. The application is usually faster EU law requires embassies to process family-member applications: • More quickly • With fewer documents • With simplified procedures We help you take full advantage of these rights. 💡 Outbound Singapore Tip Most refusals happen because applicants don’t submit the correct proof of family relationship or dependency. We guide you step-by-step so your application is recognised correctly under EU Free Movement rules.
