Visas pour la France
The Consulate general of France in New York is no longer responsible for issuing visas.
Applying for a visa
For general information and for preparing, submitting and tracking your application, log on to France-visas, the official website for visa application to France.
Do I need a visa?
First, use “Visa wizard” to check, based on your situation, whether you need a visa and if so, what type. The wizard will also tell you what documents must be enclosed with your application, along with the relevant fee.
Complete your application online
Once you have confirmed that you need a visa, you can complete your application on our online portal. You will be asked to create a France-Visas account, which you will need for each step of the process.
Submit your application to the visa center.
Once you have completed your online application, all you have to do is submit it to your local visa centre. France-Visas will provide you with all necessary information on how and where to submit your application.
Track your visa application
Once your application has been submitted, track its progress and see how and when you can collect your passport and how to prepare for your trip to France.
Users are therefore asked to submit their visa applications well ahead of their departure date.
