Schengen visa: change in France

French visa policy towards the Maghreb has shown its limits. Faced with this failure, President Emmanuel Macron wants to change his mind.

Emmanuel Macron admitted the failure of French visa policy towards Morocco and Algeria. This policy led to a drop in the issuance of residence visas in France and “damaged our reputation and our image, without greatly improving our efficiency. However, this does not mean that we must go towards laxity. We must have a policy of rigor, but which allows us to condition intelligently and simplify our visa policy. “, he admitted on Monday, during his conference in front of the ambassadors.
