VFS Global has established a new facility in Abu Dhabi to handle applications for France visas for both the capital and the other seven emirates. Soumya Zelmat, the French consul in Abu Dhabi, opened the facility on December 18. It is situated in The Mall - World Trade facility, Khalifa Bin Zayed the 1st Street. Candidates can apply in person at the facility or remotely via the "Visa At Your Doorstep" service.
Modern biometric equipment, a large waiting room, and a section devoted to promoting France as a tourist destination are all present on the grounds, giving applicants important information to know before they depart.
Additionally, visitors to this location can select from a variety of extra services including visa advice, form filling from qualified specialists, Prime Time for applications submitted after office hours, and courier return service for completed passports sent to travellers' homes.
The Premium Lounge offers end-to-end help throughout the procedure in a luxurious setting, making it an excellent choice for those seeking a more individualised experience. Candidates for visas to the other Schengen nations in Abu Dhabi must continue to visit the World Trade Centre Mall's Joint Visa Application Centre to turn in their paperwork.
