France has suspended visa applications to France and other French Territories until further notice.

The French Ambassador to Fiji, Jean-Francois Fitou says the French TTService will no longer accept any application whether it is tourist, diplomatic or long stay visa.

Fitou says the exceptions can be made for very specific cases, only at the embassy in which case applicants will have to contact directly.

He adds all appointments will be closed until further notice and he is asking all the applicants who have already booked an appointment to report their visa applications to a later date.
