Processing time
Although the average processing time is usually much faster than the statutory period of 15 days, for your comfort and your convenience, we suggest that you submit your short stay visa application at least 15 days before your intended travel date.
For long stay visa applications, we advise you to apply at least 1 month prior to your expected departure date.
This website will guide you in every step of the visa application procedures and also gives you detailed information about our visa application centres.
How to submit your visa application
To apply for a visa, you should first register on the France-Visas website, and then follow the instructions.
