The documents required to obtain a tourist visa to France are the same as the documents required for any short-term Schengen visa, except for some minor differences that relate to some supporting documents.
As we always refer to our subjects, the short-term Schengen visa is that granted to people who want a short visit of no more than 90 days to one of the Schengen countries, whether France, Spain, Italy, Greece …
The Schengen visa takes its name from the purpose that the individual intends to do while traveling, for tourism is called a tourist visa, and if it is to visit family or friends it is called a visitor visa, and if the treatment is called a medical visa …

Since France is a member of the European Union and the Schengen area, its short-term visa applies to it, as does the rest of the Schengen visas.

Accordingly, it grants this visa to every person who proves that his residence in France will not exceed 90 days, in order to carry out one of the following activities:

  • Tourism in France;
  • Visiting family and friends in France;
  • Attending an art or sporting event in France;
  • Attending short-term vocational training or training in France;
  • Giving a lecture regarding professors and academics or participating in a cultural demonstration;
  • Traveling to France for treatment or medical care
  • As for people who want to immigrate to France and stay there for more than 90 days, they will have to apply for a long-term visa, or as it is also known as the national visa

In order to obtain this visa, the person will have to provide evidence and documents that we have previously talked about, a previous article, which can be returned from here
