France captivates travellers with its effortless blend of romance, history, and world-class cuisine. Stroll through Paris’s elegant boulevards, explore storybook villages in Provence, or wander between the sun-soaked vineyards of Bordeaux. From the lavender fields and sparkling Côte d’Azur beaches to grand châteaux and alpine peaks, every region offers its own charm and flavour. Whether you’re sipping café au lait at a sidewalk café, discovering masterpieces in the Louvre, or enjoying slow mornings in a countryside market, France invites you to savour life at its most beautiful.

Many countries, including those in the Schengen area, do not require a visa to enter France for visits of 90 days. 

If you don't fall under the visa exemption or wish to stay longer than 90 days, you will need to apply for a long-stay national visa.
