Getting a Schengen visa before Eid Al Adha is becoming really difficult this year. Appointments are hard to find and the waiting time is too long. So most UAE residents are now looking at other countries where the visa process is quick, simple, and done mostly online. Travel agents say people just want to book their holiday without the stress of embassy visits and passport submissions. And luckily, there are some really good options available right now.
Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Kenya Are Getting Very Popular
These three countries are topping the list for Eid travel this year and for good reason. Azerbaijan lets you apply for a visa online and get approval in just three working days. Uzbekistan has a simple online visa portal that is easy to use from home. Kenya has an online travel authorisation system that also takes around three working days. All three are affordable, interesting to visit, and very easy to apply for — making them perfect if you have not sorted your travel plans yet.
Thailand, Vietnam, Japan and Indonesia Are Also Great Picks
Asian destinations are also seeing a big rush from UAE residents this Eid. Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, and Malaysia all have online e-visa systems that make applying from home very easy. Travel consultants say these countries are loved because flights are direct, prices are reasonable, food is amazing, and the overall experience is fantastic. If you want beaches, culture, mountains, or city life — Asia has something for everyone this Eid.
UK and China Are Still Possible With Priority Visas
If you have your heart set on the UK or China, do not give up just yet. The UK offers a priority visa service that can give you a decision by the end of the next working day after your appointment. China has an express service that takes around four working days. Yes, it costs a little more — but many residents say it is worth it to secure their Eid travel plans on time.
