Residents in the UK can apply freely in any of those 3 centres as there is no consular area. You may submit your visa application up to 180 days prior to your planned dates of travel. You are strongly advised to allow at least 20 working days of processing delays.\n\nOnce visa applications are transferred to the Consulate in London, they are generally processed within 2 to 15 working days. However note that delays may vary according to different factors and that they are given as a general guideline.\n\n## Brexit\nSince 1 January 2021, new conditions will apply for the entry and residence of British citizens and their family members in France. All the applicable rules are available on our dedicated page accessible by clicking on [withdrawal agreement](https:\/\/france-visas.gouv.fr\/brexit).\n\n## Whom should I contact?\n**Visa network in the country (consulates and service providers)**\n\nVisa applicants reception for France in the United Kingdom is handled by the external service provider \"TLScontact\". Provided you are a resident of the United Kingdom, you can freely choose to submit your application at the [TLScontact Centers in London, Manchester or Edinburgh](https:\/\/visas-fr.tlscontact.com\/en-us\/country\/gb).\n\n**French consulate in London**\n\nCertain categories of visa applicants who do not wish to make use of the service provided by TLScontact still have the option of applying for their visas directly at the French Consulate General in London, known as direct appointments. This possibility only applies to applicants for short stay visas \"spouse of a French national\" and \"family member of a European national\".\n\nAppointments are compulsory and must be made through the French Consulate in such in case.\n\nNote that direct appointments are only available on Wednesday mornings and you will have to apply in person. Processing delays still apply. There is a longer appointment waiting time for the French Consulate General so you are highly advised to submit your application at TLScontact.\n***\n![](https:\/\/france-visas.gouv.fr\/documents\/d\/france-visas\/money)\n\n## What are the application fees?\n#### Visa fees\n- [Table of visa fees in United Kingdom (pdf)](https:\/\/france-visas.gouv.fr\/documents\/d\/france-visas\/frais-de-visa-anglais)\n#### TLScontact service fees\nThe basic service fee is set in euros and collected in local currency. Between 40 to 55€ per appointment and are not refundable unless the applicant decides not to submit his file before the collection of biometric data.\n\n[Additional fees](https:\/\/fr.tlscontact.com\/gb\/lon\/page.php?pid=added_value_services&l=en) are also offered to visa applicants.\n\nPayment of service fees : by debit or credit card - American express cards are not accepted).\n***\n![](https:\/\/france-visas.gouv.fr\/documents\/d\/france-visas\/calendar-1)\n\n## Book an appointment\nThe Consulate General of France in London endeavors to shorten the time to obtain an appointment at TLScontact visa center. The appointment is usually available within 48 hours (working days), but it may vary during the high season.\n\n##### Practical Informations on the progress of the appointment\n**Booking an appointment**\n\nVisa appointments can only be booked via the local outsourcing company [TLScontact](https:\/\/visas-fr.tlscontact.com\/fr-fr). The service fee must be paid when making an appointment on the TLScontact website.\n\nBeware of [scams](https:\/\/visas-fr.tlscontact.com\/en-us\/country\/gb\/vac\/gbLON2fr\/scam-alert) when booking an appointment and applying for a french visa. TLScontact is the only external provider authorized and approved by the French Consulate in London.\n\n**At your appointment do not forget :**\n\n- Your appointment confirmation document, (to be printed) ;\n- Your passport ;\n- Your documents presented in order according to the the list of requirements ;\n- The means of payment of the visa fees and any optional service fees.\n\nNB : If your visa application is incomplete (i.e. missing documents), you may choose not to submit your application until you have all the required documents and come back to the Centre at a later date after making a new appointment. You will not have to pay any processing fees if you decide not to submit your application at this time. However, if you do decide to submit your incomplete application, you will be asked to sign a document indicating that your application is incomplete and that certain documents are missing.\n\nSubmitting a complete application does not guarantee that the consular authorities will grant you a visa.\n\n**Biometric data**\n\nAll visas issued by France are biometric visas. Applicants who are over 12 years of age are required to appear in person at the time of their first application.

[TLScontact's](https://fr.tlscontact.com/gb/splash.php?l=en) has been appointed to welcome the public, receive their applications and return the passports in their three visa application centres located in London, Manchester and Edinburgh. Residents in the UK can apply freely in any of those 3 centres as there is no consular area. You may submit your visa application up to 180 days prior to your planned dates of travel. You are strongly advised to allow at least 20 working days of processing delays. Once visa applications are transferred to the Consulate in London, they are generally processed within 2 to 15 working days. However note that delays may vary according to different factors and that they are given as a general guideline. ## Brexit Since 1 January 2021, new conditions will apply for the entry and residence of British citizens and their family members in France. All the applicable rules are available on our dedicated page accessible by clicking on [withdrawal agreement](https://france-visas.gouv.fr/brexit). ## Whom should I contact? Visa network in the country (consulates and service providers) Visa applicants reception for France in the United Kingdom is handled by the external service provider "TLScontact". Provided you are a resident of the United Kingdom, you can freely choose to submit your application at the [TLScontact Centers in London, Manchester or Edinburgh](https://visas-fr.tlscontact.com/en-us/country/gb). French consulate in London Certain categories of visa applicants who do not wish to make use of the service provided by TLScontact still have the option of applying for their visas directly at the French Consulate General in London, known as direct appointments. This possibility only applies to applicants for short stay visas "spouse of a French national" and "family member of a European national". Appointments are compulsory and must be made through the French Consulate in such in case. Note that direct appointments are only available on Wednesday mornings and you will have to apply in person. Processing delays still apply. There is a longer appointment waiting time for the French Consulate General so you are highly advised to submit your application at TLScontact. * ![](https://france-visas.gouv.fr/documents/d/france-visas/money) ## What are the application fees? #### Visa fees - [Table of visa fees in United Kingdom (pdf)](https://france-visas.gouv.fr/documents/d/france-visas/frais-de-visa-anglais) #### TLScontact service fees The basic service fee is set in euros and collected in local currency. Between 40 to 55€ per appointment and are not refundable unless the applicant decides not to submit his file before the collection of biometric data. [Additional fees](https://fr.tlscontact.com/gb/lon/page.php?pid=added_value_services&l=en) are also offered to visa applicants. Payment of service fees : by debit or credit card - American express cards are not accepted). * ![](https://france-visas.gouv.fr/documents/d/france-visas/calendar-1) ## Book an appointment The Consulate General of France in London endeavors to shorten the time to obtain an appointment at TLScontact visa center. The appointment is usually available within 48 hours (working days), but it may vary during the high season. ##### Practical Informations on the progress of the appointment Booking an appointment Visa appointments can only be booked via the local outsourcing company [TLScontact](https://visas-fr.tlscontact.com/fr-fr). The service fee must be paid when making an appointment on the TLScontact website. Beware of [scams](https://visas-fr.tlscontact.com/en-us/country/gb/vac/gbLON2fr/scam-alert) when booking an appointment and applying for a french visa. TLScontact is the only external provider authorized and approved by the French Consulate in London. At your appointment do not forget : - Your appointment confirmation document, (to be printed) ; - Your passport ; - Your documents presented in order according to the the list of requirements ; - The means of payment of the visa fees and any optional service fees. NB : If your visa application is incomplete (i.e. missing documents), you may choose not to submit your application until you have all the required documents and come back to the Centre at a later date after making a new appointment. You will not have to pay any processing fees if you decide not to submit your application at this time. However, if you do decide to submit your incomplete application, you will be asked to sign a document indicating that your application is incomplete and that certain documents are missing. Submitting a complete application does not guarantee that the consular authorities will grant you a visa. Biometric data All visas issued by France are biometric visas. Applicants who are over 12 years of age are required to appear in person at the time of their first application. The following biometric identifiers are collected: a photograph, scanned or taken at the time of the application, and 10 fingerprints, taken flat and digitized. However, it is possible to retrieve your biometric data if a previous biometric Schengen visa has been issued to you less than 59 months ago. Children under 12 years of age: children under 12 years of age are not required to provide the biometric data, short stay Schengen visa application may be submitted by the child’s parent/legal guardian.
