Tourist Travel Requirements for a Burkina Faso Visa for Australian Citizens

  1. Personal Appearance

    The French Consulate requires applicant's from your particular country to apply for a visa in person. CIBTvisas is unable to assist in this instance. Please contact the Consulate for further information.

    All applications will have to be lodged in person at the French Consulate in Sydney by the applicant/s.

    Please visit the French Consulate's website at https://au.ambafrance.org/-Sydney_en- - to review the current visa requirements and to make a compulsory appointment.

    *Visas for persons travelling to French Polynesia and/or New Caledonia on board a cruise ship or for a group conference can apply for the visa by post.

    Please note that as from 02/08/2010, the Republic of Greece officially represents France in South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia to issue Schengen visas for stays up to 90 days (French Polynesia and New Caledonia are not covered under the Schengen Agreement and must be lodged through the French Consulate Sydney). Under the terms of the agreement, the French Consulate is unable to accept any Schengen visa application from residents in these 3 States, in any circumstances whatsoever. Any attempt to lodge your application with the Consulate-General of France in Sydney will be rejected. Greek authorities have been granted full jurisdiction to issue Schengen visas on behalf of France and any issue (including processing time) must be dealt with them directly. Exceptions: Iranian researchers are required to apply with the Consulate-General of France in Sydney.
