Visa applications for France vary mainly according to the length and purpose of the stay. There are three types of visas: short-stay visas, long-stay visas and airport transit visas.

• The short-stay visa is for stays of less than three months. It does not allow the holder to settle long term in France or bring family members. Professional activity is also limited. This visa may be issued for a single entry or for multiple entries. In the latter case, it is called a circulation visa.

• The long-stay visa is for applicants whose stay will exceed three months, justified by several purposes, including family reunification, work or studies.

• Finally, the airport transit visa concerns only travellers whose final destination is outside the Schengen area. The airport transit visa requires the traveller to remain in the international zone of the French airport.

A visa application for France is generally made in two steps. First, registration on the France-Visas website is required. Then, in most cases, the file is submitted through service providers used by the consular services.

• France does not issue visas on arrival. It is therefore necessary to arrive in the country with a visa.

• This information is provided for guidance. Exceptions may apply depending on the country of origin and residence.

France is in the Schengen zone

France is part of the Schengen zone, so a visa for France can also allow travel across other Schengen countries. Your main destination should still match your application. Processing times, appointment availability and evidence expectations can vary between member states, so check the requirements against your real itinerary.

This step is mandatory to start an application, regardless of the purpose of the planned stay, whether tourism, medical treatment, professional activity or family reunification.

    Book an appointment on TLScontact

    Appointment allocation for a tourist visa is random and automatic, and partly based on a system that distributes applicants by category. When creating an account, applicants who have already obtained one or more Schengen visas are asked to enter the relevant information. This data is used to classify them into different categories. Case 1: applicants submitting a first visa application, or unable to provide proof of a previous Schengen visa. Case 2: applicants who have already obtained a Schengen visa valid for less than 6 months, issued during the last 59 months. Case 3: applicants who have already obtained a Schengen visa valid for 6 months or more, issued during the last 59 months. Applicants in cases 2 and 3 must present a copy of their previous Schengen visa on the appointment day to justify their situation. This automatic appointment allocation system has not yet been generalised to all centres in Morocco. In some centres, it is still possible to book an appointment directly on the TLScontact website.

  5. 5
    Submit the file to TLScontact

    The complete file, including all supporting documents and copies, is submitted directly at the TLScontact visa application centre. On the appointment day, the applicant must appear in person.

This step is mandatory to start an application, regardless of the purpose of the planned stay, whether tourism, medical treatment, professional activity or family reunification. Creating this online space allows the applicant to manage and track the progress of the file throughout the administrative process.

  5. 5
    Submit the file to TLScontact

    The complete file, including all supporting documents and copies, is submitted directly at the TLScontact visa application centre. On the appointment day, the applicant must appear in person. However, minors under 12 may be represented by their parents. It is recommended to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before the appointment time.

To book an appointment, the applicant must register on the TLScontact website and complete a form repeating some information already entered in the visa application form, including the applicant surname, first name and passport number.

    The complete file, including all supporting documents and copies, is submitted directly at the TLScontact visa application centre. On the appointment day, the applicant must appear in person. However, minors under 12 may be represented by their parents. It is recommended to arrive 15 to 20 minutes before the appointment time. The document list is not exhaustive, and the consular officer reserves the right to request any additional document considered necessary for examining and deciding the visa application. A telephone or in-person interview with the applicant may also be conducted if considered appropriate.

  6. 6
    Collect the passport from TLScontact

    Once the visa application has been processed, the applicant receives an email and/or SMS notification stating that the passport is available at the TLScontact centre. When collecting it, the applicant must present the original application receipt, the original national identity card (CIN) and a copy of it.
