Embassies and Consulates in Paris

Getting a travel visa in Paris? I came across this listing of all the foreign embassy and consulate addresses in Paris, compliments of the International Civil Aviation Organization.

You may find that applying for a tourist visa while in Paris is less expensive than trying to do the same thing back in the US. We have applied for a tourist visa to India and the process was quite simple. Our passports were kept for a few days. The only request that the Indian government required before issuing a tourist visa was that we weren’t going to be writing anything about the country (I think that’s because my job was listed as ‘travel writer’). Wouldn’t you think that India would like to have travel writers writing about traveling in India? Maybe they want to keep visitors in suspense.

You’ll note that one country’s consulate is surprisingly missing from the International Civil Aviation’s list: The United States1
