Paris Visas

EU citizens do not need a visa to globetrot through France. Citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the US do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days, but this three-month period begins upon entry into any of the countries that belong to the EU's freedom of movement zone. For more information, see One Europe (below). Those staying longer than 90 days may purchase a visa at a French consulate. A visa costs €99 and allows the holder to spend 90 days in France.

Double-check entrance requirements at the nearest embassy or consulate of France for up-to-date information before departure. US citizens can also consult http://travel.state.gov.

Entering France to study requires a special visa. For more information, see the Beyond Tourism chapter.
