Maybe this can help..
Basically, citizens who are not visa exempted are expected to produce the following:
*Note: The list is for information purposes only. Please contact respective embassies for official information.
- Application form completed and signed by the applicant
- Passport photos
- Passport having validity of atleast 90 days from date of expiry of visa
- Covering letter from the applicant detailing purpose of trip, duration of stay and travel itinerary
- Copy of labour contract
- Original and photocopy of passport
- Proof of adequate financial guarantees (e.g. salary slips/salary certificate + personal bank statement for the last 6mos)
- Confirmed hotel booking
- Confirmed return air ticket
- Travel insurance with minimum coverage of Eu30,000 (this would cost about 70~150AED)
Please note:
It is important to be specific in the itinerary and that the number of days requested will most likely be the only number of days granted for your travel. That means, if you are specifying 5 days in the itinerary, your visa will be good for 5 days only too!
Consequently, staying in their territory beyond those days would mean overstaying and that would cost you a fine of Eu600 (if not more),! Astounding!
Overview of Expenses:
Sample Computation in AED on the average (Departing from Dubai)
Return airfare :
Gulf Air offers ~ 2,000 dhs while
Air France and Lufthansa ~ 2,500 dhs during normal season.
*We got ours for 2,600dhs via Air France.
Accommodation :
Hostel ~ 25 to 40 Eu (125 to 200dhs or 1,500 to 2,500php)
Hotel ~ 50 ++ Eu (250dhs ++ or 3,000php ++) or have a look at this post hotel in Rome
Entrance Fees:
Usually 0 -15Eu (free to as much as 75dhs or 480 to 900php)
Food:
Free breakfast at the hotel (?)
Heavy lunch or dinner ~ 10 - 25Eu
Water! from 0.5Eu to as much as 2Eu at major tourist spots!! That's for 500ml of bottled water.
Fast foods are always available, in case you want a familiar taste. Once at McDonalds, I had burger, fries, pie... all at 1Eu each. They're always cheap but of course you'll not have them the whole time, right? Besides, you're travelling to explore! And, food is one of its greatest adventure!

Hop On, Hop Off Tours:
15 - 25Eu (40 to 75dhs or 480 to 900php)
Local Transpo.:
Just prepare to spend maybe 5~15 Eu per day..
There are many places where sightseeing can be done on foot and does not involve taking the subway nor buses too much. However, in some instances, attractions are situated quite far that I advise you to just take the aforementioned Hop On, Hop Off Tours as it offers more convenience saving you from the hassle of planning 'where, when and how' to proceed!
Tickets from public transpo then looked like these:
Please always VALIDATE your tickets!!!
