Reminder: only the applicants or a direct family member or, in case of a company, an authorized staff member from the company, can request visa appointments at the French Embassy.

At the end of the appointment process, you will receive a message that you will need to print out and present at the entrance of the Service.
To make the best use of this procedure, it is recommended that you have the following configuration :
- Internet Explorer (Windows), version 6.0 and above with service pack 2 or Firefox, version 1.0 and above or Mozilla, version 1.7.8 and above

- Finally, it is necessary to authorize the opening of pop-ups (parameter of your browser).
The Visa Service strives to process requests for appointments within 72 hours, but additional checks, an increasing number of requests, or technical problems can lengthen these deadlines.
We recommend making an appointment in advance of your planned departure date to avoid setback.
Application submission is possible 6 months before the date of departure.
Similarly, there is a surge in demand with the approach of summer and winter school holidays periods. Obtaining an appointment can then exceed reasonable time, while it is usually limited to a few days. As a result, applicants are encouraged to plan to submit their applications with sufficient anticipation to avoid having to postpone their departure.
