What to do if an entry visa to France is refused by the consular authorities?

On 24 February 2023

The consular administration regularly refuses visas without really justifying its decision or this reason being clearly understandable.

However, it is increasingly common for the decision to refuse a visa to be withdrawn by the administration during litigation, once it notes the manifest illegality of its visa refusal.

This long-awaited decision only comes after a mandatory prior appeal to the appeals commission against decisions to refuse entry visas to France as well as after a referral to the Nantes Administrative Court.

Generally, this procedure lasts around 10 months from the visa refusal.

Despite the granting of the visa during the litigation, it is necessary to maintain the requests made before the administrative court relating to the ordering of the State to pay procedural costs.
