Visa

A valid passport is required for all travelers entering France; French subjects must merely be holders of the national identity card. Visitors must have ready for presentation at the border documentary evidence of the purpose of the visit, means of support for the duration of the stay and accommodation arrangements.

A visa may be required. It must be requested from a French consulate before departure. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality and duration of stay in France and possibly on the reason for your visit to France.
