Going to Sweden before going to the UAE from Tunisia
I got a UAE work visa and I'm going to Dubai for the first time. But before that I want to travel to Sweden for a 1-week training. So I'll need a Schengen visa too.
Is there any problem applying for a Schengen visa from Tunisia and book a one-way ticket from Tunisia to Sweden, then a one-way ticket from Sweden to Dubai? Or is it mandatory to go back to Tunisia before travelling to Dubai?
Best Answer
Neither Sweden nor the UAE will have any problems with that itinerary.
(Of course, it may be a challenge to convince the Swedish consulate that you're going to leave after your visit, if your ties to Tunisia are weak enough that you're willing to go to the UAE for work, and you're not established in the UAE with any strong ties yet. But that's independent of whether your physical travel goes directly from Sweden to UAE or via Tunisia, so don't let that determine your routing).
