Is France visa-free

China citizens need a visa to travel to France. To apply for a French tourist visa, you need to provide a valid ordinary passport, proof of round-trip air ticket reservation, travel itinerary, financial proof and other materials. After meeting the visa requirements, you need to go to embassies and consulates in China for an interview and collect fingerprints.

France's visa-free travel policy is applicable to China citizens who hold valid ordinary passports and travel for non-immigrant purposes, such as traveling, visiting relatives and friends, business talks and attending exhibitions, and stay in France for no more than 90 days. Please note, however, that the validity period of the visa starts from the time of entry, and visitors need to enter the country within the validity period of the visa.

The value of a visa reflects:

1. Right of way: A visa is a passport for international travel, and the holder of a valid visa can freely enter and leave the issuing country within the scope permitted by the visa.

2. Security: Visa is an important means for sovereign countries to safeguard their sovereignty, dignity, security and interests. Through visas, the state can effectively control and manage the entry personnel and prevent illegal immigrants, criminals and other potential security threats.

3. Cultural exchange: The design and texture of a visa often reflect the cultural characteristics of a country, which is also a cultural experience and exchange for visa holders.

4. Personal credit certificate: Visa issuance is usually based on the applicant's credit and history. For those who need to do business, study and work in other countries, a valid visa is a proof of personal credit and helps them build trust and credibility abroad.
