The service at a glance

What is included

  • Return authorisation: checking your file allows it, and applying
  • Letter of invitation: preparing the file and booking the police appointment
  • Preparing the fee form and following up to collection

WHAT IS INCLUDED AND WHAT IS NOT PROMISED

Two small, deadline-bound procedures usually asked for in a hurry: one lets you leave and return while the card is pending, the other evidences accommodation for a visitor.

What it includes: return authorisation: checking your file allows it, and applying; letter of invitation: preparing the file and booking the police appointment; preparing the fee form and following up to collection. What it does not include: it does not include the fee itself, which is a disbursement in your name, and does not guarantee your visitor's visa.

  • Proof of the pending application, for the return authorisation.

Frequently asked questions

HOW LONG DOES A RETURN AUTHORISATION LAST?

It is for one specific trip and short-lived. We tell you what applies in your case.

CAN I TRAVEL WITH AN EXPIRED CARD WITHOUT IT?

With an expired card and a pending application, not without the authorisation. That is exactly what it is for.

DOES AN INVITATION LETTER GUARANTEE A VISA?

No. It evidences accommodation; the consulate decides the visa.
