Diplomatic and Official Visa (Diplomatic/Temporary)

France's Diplomatic and Official Visa is issued to holders of diplomatic, official, or service passports traveling for government or international organization duties. It is processed through diplomatic channels and is exempt from all visa fees.

Stay duration matches the official mission. The visa is renewable for the duration of the assignment. Dependents holding diplomatic/official passports may be included. Spouses have restricted work authorization tied to the mission. Dual intent and a pathway to permanent residency are not available.

This visa is ideal for government officials and international organization representatives posted to France on a formal diplomatic or official mission.
