Do I need to apply for a French visa in a designated area?

The division of the consular area is the place for each foreign country to apply for a visa in China. Applicants need to submit materials to apply for a visa in the relevant consular area, and some countries will also have designated consular area requirements for applicants. Do you need to apply for a French visa in the designated consular area?

France does not have a territorial division for Chinese applicants. Applicants can apply according to their household registration and permanent residence. For those who are not in the place of household registration, they do not need to provide residence certificates or other documents when applying for a visa. The same is true for the materials required by any territorial area. The same is true for the French visa processing process and the speed of visa issuance.

At present, the French Embassy has set up six embassies and consulates in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shenyang and Wuhan and 15 visa centers in China. Applicants can directly submit the materials to any visa center and submit them to the embassy by the visa center. In this way, applicants do not need to go to the embassy in person, which can save applicants a lot of time.

It is also because there is no requirement for territorial division that applicants can choose the most convenient place to submit materials, and the same is true for different territorial areas, as is the French visa processing process and visa issuance speed.

Therefore, when submitting materials to enter the French visa center, there is no territorial requirement and they can be submitted at will. However, they can also prepare materials to be submitted to the embassy. They only need to apply according to their household registration. However, the most common way to handle them is to submit them to the application center in a unified way. Any questions are also convenient for consultation. Applicants can choose the way to handle them according to their own needs.

In fact, French visa is the best country to handle Schengen visa. The visa issuing time is relatively fast and there are relatively many visa types to choose. As long as the applicant can prepare the materials required by the embassy, he can apply normally.
