Initiate your visa application now if you require a visa to attend the 2024 Olympics
Here are the key points:
- Individuals from third countries requiring a visa to enter France for the 2024 Olympics are advised to commence their visa application process promptly.
- Nationals from 99 National Olympic Committees necessitate a visa for entry into France.
- SchengenVisaInfo.com has developed a new online tool to inform you about visa and passport validity requirements as well as the minimum budget needed.
If you are a traveler from a third country planning to attend the 2024 Olympics in France and need a Schengen visa, it is recommended to initiate the visa application process without delay. While the latest visa application can be submitted 15 working days before the intended entry into the Schengen Area, considering the heightened demand for appointments and processing time, beginning the application process as early as possible is strongly advised.
France will host the 2024 Olympics this summer, marking a century since its last hosting, from July 26 to August 11, 2024, in the capital city. Visa applications can be made up to six months before entering France and the Schengen Area, making this an opportune time to address this requirement and avoid last-minute inconveniences.
A total of 206 National Olympic Committees will participate in the 2024 Olympics, with nationals from 99 of these committees needing a visa to enter France.
To streamline the visa application and planning process for those traveling to France this summer, SchengenVisaInfo has introduced the Paris Olympics 2024 Travel and Visa Checker. This tool, based on your nationality, informs you about visa requirements for entering France and provides details on application requirements and procedures. Additionally, it outlines passport validity requirements and estimates the minimum budget required for your stay in France.
