From different visa types to documents required, eligibility criteria and visa fees, there are many aspects to figure out before starting the France visa application process. That\u2019s why we have provided you with a step by step guide to apply for France visa below: &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1: Determine&nbsp;your&nbsp;Visa Type<\/strong>: <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending upon your reason to visit&nbsp;i.e. tourism, visiting friends or relatives or business, find out which type of visa you should be applying for.

There are various categories under Short-stay visa, such as: <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tourist visa <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Business visa (For corporate meeting, internships, conferences, training programme, etc.) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visit visa (for visiting family or friends)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Transit visa (Also known as <strong>Type-A visa<\/strong>.

It enables the traveler to obtain a residence permit so they can live in France for longer periods. Common categories under Long-stay visa are: &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Study visa<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visa for medical reasons <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of these categories have certain eligibility criteria you must fulfill to be eligible for a France visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2: Apply Online<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After determining your visa type and category, visit <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/visa.vfsglobal.com\/ind\/en\/fra\/\" target=\"_blank\">VFSGlobal.com<\/a>&nbsp;and apply for visa by filling the online France visa application form.

However, this does not exempt you from submitting all the original relevant documents on the day of your appointment.
