To obtain a Schengen Visa for France, Bangladeshi passport holders must apply at the French Embassy or Consulate in Dhaka. The application process involves submitting the following documents:
- A valid Bangladeshi passport with at least 2 blank pages and a validity of at least 3 months beyond the intended stay in France.
- A completed and signed Schengen Visa application form.
- Two recent passport-sized photographs.
- Proof of sufficient financial means to cover the costs of the stay in France, such as bank statements or a certificate of employment.
- Proof of accommodation in France, such as a hotel reservation or an invitation from a host.
- Travel itinerary, including flight reservations or other transportation arrangements.
- Proof of travel insurance that covers medical expenses and repatriation.
- Any additional documents required by the embassy or consulate, such as a cover letter or a detailed travel itinerary.
Once all the required documents have been submitted, the visa application will be processed by the embassy or consulate. The processing time can vary, but it usually takes around 10 to 15 business days. If the application is successful, the visa will be issued and the passport will be returned to the applicant.
It's important to note that meeting the visa requirements does not guarantee the issuance of a visa, and the embassy or consulate has the discretion to refuse the visa application without providing any reason. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that all the required documents are complete and accurate, and to follow the instructions provided by the embassy or consulate.
