Clarification on Schengen visas, traveling to France

MANILA – The French government has decided to re-establish internal border controls following the terrorist attacks that took place in Paris and its region last November 13, 2015.

This decision does not affect the validity of visas previously issued by French consulates or Schengen missions across the world, which should continue to allow entry in France and/or free circulation within the Schengen area.

To facilitate border entry, holders of Schengen visas are requested to have in their possession all documents justifying their trip to France. (Eagle News Service/Embassy of France)
