Participants coming from outside the Schengen Area wishing to enter France must be able to submit statutory documents at the border concerning the reasons for their stay, their means of support and accommodation arrangements.
A visa is generally required, in the absence of a waiver. For general information and for preparing, submitting and tracking your visa application, log on to
France-Visas, France’s official visa site, with all the information you need to guide you through the process and help you every step of the way.
Waiting times for appointments and for processing applications will vary depending on your nationality and on the time of the year. Participants are advised to check whether they will need a visa and submit any visa application well in advance of the conference.
