In all cases, CAPAGO refers to this link for information purposes only and does not promote, advise or advertise any Insurer’s products, nor carry out any regulated activities in relation to the Insurances referred to via the link on this website. CAPAGO disclaims all liability arising from the purchase or use of Insurance services by any person.
Do I need to come in person ?
All visas issued by France are biometric visas. If you hold a biometric Schengen visa issued within 59 months, either bearing the mention ‘VIS’ or issued after March 2016, your previous biometric data can be reused. In that case, you can authorize a third-party to submit your application on your behalf. For that purpose, you must sign a proxy form, to be handed over with a copy of the applicant’s proof of ID.
Children under 12 are exempted from data capturing. Parents can submit visa applications for their children under 12 or aged 12-18 if exempted from biometrics, without the children’s presence and without using a proxy form.
Starting from 07 April 2021, long-stay study visa applicants can submit the documents accompanying their applications digitally. You can find more information about this procedure on France-Visas
Section 17 of the Community code visas
Under section 17 of the Community code visas: “the state or states concerned shall maintain the opportunity for all applicants to lodge applications directly from their consulates, according to their conditions”.
What will I pay, when and to whom ?
What are the rules to access the Visa Application Center ?
