Ambassador of France: Registration for a French visa is individual and free

ArmInfo. The Ambassador of 

France to Armenia Olivier Decotigny responded to a post by a Twitter 

user (X), who introduced himself as Kolya Kalajyan. The latter 

accused the French Embassy of selling visa reservations.

Kaladzhyan, reacting to the French ambassador's message that the EU 

Council approved the start of a dialogue with Armenia on visa 

liberalization in particular, wrote: "Taking into account the fact 

that visa appointment slots at the French Embassy are "sold" through 

travel agencies, and a person simply does not can apply for a visa on 

his own and without the support of an illegal business, this is just 

a very ridiculous statement."

Decotigny's answer was not long in coming. The French Ambassador 

reminded that registration for a visa is individual and free.

"If a person or organization pretends to make an appointment for you 

to obtain a visa, they are lying to you. 

If they ask you for money, they are robbing you. If you know such 

persons or organizations, name them," the ambassador wrote.
