Procedure
1) Visa to go to France
The Schengen visa is issued by the consular representation of the
country of the main destination.
For tourism, the competent consulate for issuing the visa is the
consulate of the country where the tourist has the longest stay.
In case of equal length of stay, the competent consulate is the
consulate of the country of the first entry.
In case the trip involves business and tourism, the competent consulate
for issuing the visa is the consulate of the country where the business
will take place, even if the length of the tourist stay is longer
than the length of the business stay.
A Schengen visa allows its holder to enter the following countries:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France,
Germany, Hungary, Italy, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg,
Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain
and Sweden.
