France visa — frequently asked
What documents are required for a France visa?
For a France visa, you'll typically need: Passport (valid 3+ months after return, 2+ blank pages); Two passport photos (35x45 mm, 80% face coverage, white background); Schengen application form (filled & signed — we fill this for you); Travel insurance certificate (€30,000+ cover, all Schengen states, exact travel dates); Return flight itinerary (we generate a dummy one); Hotel/accommodation bookings for entire stay (we generate a dummy one). Visank reviews every document against the latest embassy checklist before submission, so nothing gets rejected on a technicality.
How much bank balance is needed for a France visa?
There is no official fixed amount, but a healthy, stable balance across your last 6 months' statements is strongly recommended for a France visa. Visank advises on the ideal figure for your specific trip and drafts a supporting cover letter.
Do I need travel insurance for a France visa?
Travel insurance is required for most France applications. Visank can arrange a compliant policy that meets the embassy's minimum coverage, so you don't have to source it yourself.
Do I need to book flights and hotels before applying for a France visa?
No — never book real tickets before approval. Visank provides free, embassy-accepted dummy flight and hotel reservations for your France application. You only book real travel once the visa is granted.
Is biometrics required for a France visa?
Yes, biometrics (fingerprints and a photograph) are captured at your VFS/visa-centre appointment. Visank books the earliest available slot for you and prepares your full file beforehand.
