Important Notes

Afghan citizens are required to obtain a Schengen visa to enter France. The application must be submitted to the French Embassy or Consulate in Afghanistan or a designated visa application center. Due to the current situation, processing times can be lengthy and requirements are strictly enforced. It is highly recommended to apply well in advance of the planned travel date. The visa fee is 80 EUR, which is approximately 87 USD (subject to exchange rate fluctuations). Additional service fees may apply if applying through a visa application center. The validity and stay duration will be determined by the consulate based on the applicant's itinerary and circumstances, typically allowing up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
