Visas

Depending on where you join us from in June, your journey may contain a few extra steps. Have a look at our visa information to see if this applies to you.

Do I need a visa to travel into France?

What steps should I take if I need a visa for my trip?

If you require a visa to attend the Festival, we strongly recommend that you begin the application process as early as possible. This will allow enough time to complete any necessary interviews, gather required documentation and address any potential delays. Early preparation is key to ensuring that your visa is approved in time for the Festival.

For detailed information on the required documentation, please visit the official website for the French embassy here.
