Visa Details

Required Documents for a France Tourist Visa:

When applying for a France tourist visa, you will need to gather and submit several documents. The exact requirements may vary depending on the consulate, but generally, the following documents are required:

1. Visa Application Form:

   • Complete the Schengen visa application form. You can find the form on the French consulate or visa center website. It must be filled out in full and signed.

2. Passport:

   • Your passport should be valid for at least three months beyond your planned stay in France and have at least two blank pages for the visa stamp.
   • If you have previous passports with old visas, include those as well.

3. Passport-sized Photos:

   • Two recent passport-sized photos (meeting Schengen photo requirements). These should be clear, with a white background.

4. Travel Itinerary:

   • Provide a detailed travel itinerary, including your travel dates, flight bookings, and places you plan to visit in France and any other Schengen countries (if applicable).
   • You don't need to buy tickets before your visa is approved, but the itinerary should show the expected entry and exit dates.

5. Proof of Accommodation:

   • Proof of where you will stay during your visit. This can include:
     • Hotel reservations for the entire duration of your stay.
     • An invitation letter from a friend or family member in France, along with their proof of accommodation and a copy of their ID or passport if staying with them.

6. Travel Insurance:
