FAQ

How does AHK support with visa matters?

In cooperation with the visa section of the German Consulate General, we assist you with fast-tracked appointment scheduling through the external service provider VFS Global. This service is available to all employees of AHK member companies and significantly simplifies the application process for a Schengen business visa.

 

Please note: This service is offered exclusively to AHK member companies.

Does my company need to be based in the UAE to become a member?

No, companies based in Germany or other countries can also become members – as long as they have business interests in the region.

Can my company become a member even if it’s not from Germany?

Yes, membership is also open to local and international companies that are interested in German-Emirati business relations.

Can I become a member as an individual?

Yes, we also offer a special membership for individuals without a company affiliation. You can find more information in the form below.

What is the difference between an AHK membership and AHK services?

As a member, you benefit from many services at preferential rates or with exclusive access. However, individual services, such as market analyses, events, or business partner matchmaking, can also be booked without membership. That said, members of our AHK enjoy these services at more attractive conditions.

Are there ways to actively participate as a member, for example as a speaker?

Absolutely! We welcome active members who get involved in working groups, give presentations, or share their expertise within the network.
