France cuts visa wait time
Print Edition
France will cut visa delivery time to 48 hours for Russians, Indians and citizens of six more Asian countries in a bid to boost tourism, said Prime Minister Edouard Philippe.
After a drop in 2016 following a wave of attacks that hit Paris and Nice, tourist numbers are rebounding this year. France is expecting 89 million foreign tourists, up from 83 million last year.
Citizens of Russia, India, Thailand, Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Indonesia will, from November 1, see the time to get a visa, which takes 10 days or so, fall to 48 hours.
This measure, which is already in place for a few other countries, including Qatar, would be extended to Saudi Arabia and Vietnam next year if a change in EU visa procedures for those countries allow it.
The government also said it would assign more staff to airport passport checks to limit waiting time to 30 minutes for EU citizens and 45 minutes for non-EU citizens.
