Visa application guidelines

The European territory of France is part of the “Schengen Area (pdf)”, which encompasses multiple European States to form a common space of free movement for persons. To submit a visa application, you must provide at least the following:

--A travel document (original + copy) in good condition, issued less than 10 years ago, with at least two blank pages, which is valid for at least three months after the date on which you have planned to leave the Schengen Area, or in the event of a long stay, which is valid for at least three months on the date on which the requested visa expires. However, in the event of a duly proven emergency, this final requirement may be waived.
--2 recent ID pictures in ISO/IECI format (pdf)
--The supporting documents (originals and copy) depending on your situation and your plan.

ICMV is not responsible for participants' visa issues beyond providing the Acceptance Letter and Invitation Letter (after registration) issued by the ICMV Committee Board.
