Since May 7, Saudi citizens wishing to travel to France have benefited from easier administrative procedures. A recent initiative allows interested parties to apply for a visa without requiring a prior appointment, directly at certain VFS centers located in Riyadh and Dammam. This development aims not only to simplify the process, but also to make it more accessible.

This significant progress in visa facilitation is the sign of a robust and evolving bilateral relationship between France and Saudi Arabia. By making travel smoother for Saudi citizens, we can look forward to a increased trade between the two nations. The facility could also serve as a model for other countries wishing to improve access to consular services for Saudi nationals.
How can you take advantage of this new service?
To benefit from this new procedure, applicants just need to visit the VFS centers in Riyadh Or Dammam with the necessary documents. You no longer need to go through the laborious process of booking an appointment online, which considerably reduces waiting times and the complexity of procedures.
However, it is advisable to check specific opening hours and required documents on the official website before travelling. VFS centers are open Sunday to Thursday from 8am to 3pm.
