DiaVisa
France visa orientation diagnostic

France has 27 visa categories.
Only one matches your plan.

Applying in the wrong category, or without the right documents, means a refusal and months lost. The application fee is not refunded, and the refusal stays on your consular record.

In ninety seconds you will know which of the twenty-seven categories matches your situation. It is free, and no bank details are asked for at this stage.

How DiaVisa decides

The orientation uses no generative artificial intelligence. It runs on a hand-written rules engine that always applies the same rule to the same answers. Two people in the same situation get the same result, and the report shows you the path it followed.

What DiaVisa does not do

We do not file your application and we do not book consular appointments.

We are not a consulate, an accredited intermediary, or a law firm.

We cannot guarantee that a visa will be granted. That decision belongs to the French consular authorities, and to them alone. If anyone promises you more, be wary.
