Instructions for entering France

If you plan to travel or do business in France, you need to know some necessary information before entering the country. This article will introduce you to the relevant instructions for entering France to help you enter France smoothly.

Choose the country of entry

Schengen visa holders should give priority to entry from this country, rather than simply thinking that a Schengen visa from one country can freely enter other Schengen countries. If you need to transfer in France and don't leave the airport, you must buy a plane ticket in advance.

Prepare the necessary materials

In addition to the Schengen visa, you also need to bring round-trip air tickets, hotel reservations and travel insurance and other related documents. Holders of study, visit or business visas are also required to provide corresponding certification materials, such as the invitation letter or certificate from the reception unit.

Respond to border inspection

If the border police find that your entry materials are incomplete, they may ask and temporarily keep your belongings. In this case, please keep calm and provide the required documents and instructions as soon as possible.

Communication problem

Since the French police may not understand English, please communicate with them in the presence of a Chinese interpreter to avoid signing documents that you don't understand.

Ask for help

If you have any questions or need help, you can contact the Consular Section of the Chinese Embassy in France (Tel: 0033-6 15742537), and the Consular Section will handle it for you as soon as possible.
