Entry Requirements for France

France does not require a tourist or business visa for stays of less than 90 days. You will need a passport valid for at least 90 days beyond the date of departure from France, and Planet Depos strongly recommends traveling with a passport valid no less than 6 months past your departure date from France. You will need one blank passport page for your entry stamp. Planet Depos does recommend having at least 2 blank pages, however. Most flights from the Unites States do not include a stopover in another country.

Staying in France

Depositions in France must be held at the Embassy in Paris or at one of the Consulates, unless an explanation of why this is not possible is provided to and approved by the Ministry of Justice. Paris is typically the number one location for depositions because of the amenities it offers. There are many luxurious hotels to choose from for lodging, both in Paris and just outside. Consulates are located in Marseille, Strasbourg, Lyon, and Nice, which also offer many luxurious accommodation choices. Planet Depos has established relationships with many hotels throughout France, and we can gladly assist with your hotel recommendations.

Autumn temperatures drop to the low 60’s and high 50’s.
