Planning a visit to France from the UK? The first step is to confirm whether your passport nationality requires a visa and whether France is the correct country for your application.
Confirm your visa category
A short tourism trip is different from a work, study or family-residence application. Select the category that matches your genuine travel purpose.
Prepare a consistent itinerary
Make sure your proposed dates, accommodation and transport plans tell the same story. Include evidence of your UK residence and your circumstances in the UK where requested.
Check the official checklist
France-Visas is the official starting point for requirements, supporting documents and application instructions. Check the authorised submission process for applicants resident in the UK.
Before travelling
Even with a visa, border officials may request evidence about the purpose and conditions of your stay. Carry relevant documentation and verify current entry rules.
