The French Embassy in Manila advised potential visa applicants that the waiting time for an appointment at its visa centre in Manila could take at least six weeks.
Consular officials say that the longer waiting time reflects the increased demand brought about by the approach of Europe’s peak tourist season.
The advisory released yesterday, 6th February, states: “The tourist season has begun. Due to high demand, the current waiting time for an appointment to submit a visa application at TLS Manila is six weeks. We strongly recommend that you anticipate your travel plans and submit your application as early as possible.”
France’s visa application center in Manila opened in December 2023, with TLS Contact as its service provider.
