Submit your application at the France Visa Application Center, in the United Arab Emirates

 

Since 6 May 2015, Emirati citizens are exempted from entry visas in France and the Schengen States for stays of less than 90 days.


All visas applications for France in the United Arab Emirates are processed exclusively by the Consular section in Abu Dhabi. However visa applicants residing in the United Arab Emirates are  able to apply indifferently with the VFS centre in Dubai or  VFS Centre in Abu Dhabi.


To make an appointment and to know the information related to the place of deposit of your application, refer to the heading "Whom should I contact?“.


Kindly note that the visa application submission procedure does not end after filling the form online on the France Visas website. You still need to print the application form and take it with you, along with all other required documents, when you submit in person your application at a VFS center.
