Understand the Total

France publishes application fees in euros, but applicants in Pakistan pay the exact PKR equivalent at the current chancellery rate. AEG appointment/passport-return tariffs and optional services sit outside the visa fee.

Applicable euro visa fee×official PKR chancellery rate+AEG tariff / selected services
  • Do not rely on an old fixed PKR amount
  • A receipt is issued for the visa processing fee
  • The processing fee is non-refundable after refusal

Pakistan Submission Route

The French Embassy in Islamabad examines applications and is the only authority that decides them. The local journey is different from many VFS-managed Schengen routes.

01

Request through AEG

Use the AEG appointment channel and office network referenced by the official Pakistan page.

02

Attend in Islamabad

The interview and biometrics take place at the French Embassy visa section by appointment.

!

Not Karachi

The Consulate General in Karachi does not receive visa applications and does not issue visas.

France-Visas Pakistan states that individual interview and biometrics are compulsory, with fingerprint/photo collection required for applicants over age 12. Follow any exemption or reuse instruction issued for your case.

Check the live official Pakistan submission instructions.

Short-Stay File

The visa wizard generates the authoritative list for your purpose. Use these groups to organise the file, not as a substitute for that personalised checklist.

Passport & Form

  • Passport issued within the previous 10 years
  • Validity extending at least 3 months beyond the requested visa
  • Printed final France-Visas receipt and application form

Purpose & Accommodation

  • Credible itinerary and reason for travel
  • Hotel booking or official host accommodation evidence
  • Invitation and relationship proof when visiting family or friends

Funds & Return

  • Banking and income evidence relevant to trip costs
  • Evidence of employment, business, study or other circumstances
  • Return/onward travel plan and funding explanation

Insurance & History

  • Compliant travel medical insurance for the whole trip
  • Previous passports, visas and travel history when requested
  • Route-specific documents shown by the official visa wizard

90/180 rule: a short-stay visa can authorise no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. The issued sticker determines the actual validity, entries and permitted stay.

Long-Stay Routes

A long-stay application is not an extended tourist visa. Admission or employment must exist before the visa stage.

AEG appointment wait

Varies with availability and season

These are official Pakistan-page minimum indications, not guarantees. Schengen consultations, additional checks, missing documents or technical issues can take longer.

Avoid Costly Errors

A clear route, correct destination and official payment channel matter more than promises from an agent.

01

Converting euros with a random market rate

Pakistan collects the fee in PKR using the current official chancellery rate.

02

Forgetting the AEG tariff

The visa fee is not necessarily the full amount paid for appointment and return services.

03

Using the €99 rate for an EEF student

Pakistan is in the Etudes en France procedure and the indicative student visa fee is €50.

04

Going to the Karachi consulate for submission

It does not receive or decide visa applications; the process is handled in Islamabad.

05

Applying to France only for convenience

France must be the sole or main Schengen destination based on the actual itinerary.

06

Paying for a guaranteed approval

Only the French Embassy decides applications, and fees are not refunded after refusal.
