FRANCE is a member state of the Schengen Agreement, which came into effect on March 26, 1995. The current members of the agreement ("Schengen states") are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

In order to visit one or more of the above-mentioned states, you have to obtain a so-called "Schengen visa". This visa is generally valid in all Schengen states for a stay of up to 90 days within a six months period for tourism, visit or business but not for employment purposes. Visa First organise Schengen visas for thousands of customers entering France every year.

If you want to visit only one Schengen state, you have to apply at the Embassy of that state. If you want to visit two or more Schengen states, please apply at the Embassy of the country which is your main destination, defined by the length of stay or other criteria from that Embassy. If you intend to visit two or more Schengen states but you have no main destination (equal length of stay in each countries), you need to apply for your visa at the Embassy of the country, which you intend to visit first.
