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.
