You must be a third-country national who can work remotely using telecommunications, and either work for an employer registered abroad, run a foreign-registered company you part-own, or offer freelance/consulting services to clients abroad.
Assemble the last three months' bank statements, an employment contract or service contracts showing remote work for foreign clients, a CV, a valid travel document, health insurance, and a police conduct certificate.
Make the application through the online application system. A receipt of application is issued with instructions to pay a €300 non-refundable administrative fee per applicant by bank transfer.

الحصول على موعد — احجز مبكرًا · وفق إفادات المستخدمين، تم التحقق في 2026-06-13
- تُطرح المواعيد على دفعات دون جدول معلن ثابت — غالبًا في الصباح الباكر بالتوقيت المحلي، وصباح الإثنين، وحول اليوم الأول من الشهر.
- في القنصليات المزدحمة (مثل فرنسا وإيطاليا وإسبانيا في المدن الكبرى) قد تُحجز الدفعة خلال دقائق — سجّل وادخل إلى حسابك قبل البحث.
- تتوفّر مواعيد طوال اليوم بسبب الإلغاءات، لذا تحقّق يوميًا حتى لو ظهر «لا توجد مواعيد».
- لذلك قدّم في أقرب وقت مسموح — حتى ستة أشهر قبل السفر. الانتظار حتى شهر أو شهرين غالبًا يعني عدم توفّر أي موعد.
