Why Nexus?

  • Nexus Visas is an Agency that submits applications with TLS Contact for France Schengen Visas.
  • We have access to agency appointments – on-line!
  • We make your Appointment for a France Schengen Visa, send you a Confirmation + Application Pack+ Documents Checklist.
  • You complete the Application and send it back to us, with supporting documents.
  • We thoroughly check all your documents. Copy them and prepare them in the correct order for submission to the Embassy.
  • We submit your application to TLS before your appointment date.
  • On the day of your appointment, you will come in for biometrics. A time will be allocated to you. This will be confirmed by email.
  • Once the Application has been submitted and your biometrics has been done, TLS will transfer your file to the consulate the next business day.
  • Because we have already submitted your documents, you will not have to queue  and your Biometrics should be done in under 15 minutes!
  • Once your application is complete we go back to collect your Passport + Visa and return it to you, unless you have arranged to have it sent to you by TLS, then they will send it directly to you at the address you allocated.

You are kept updated on the progress of your visa application by text message to your mobile and/or email by TLS.

Let Nexus save you time and money.

  • You don’t have to wait for a Call Centre to answer!
  • You don’t have to stand in the queue (in cold weather!)
  • You don’t have to spend 2-3 hours going through the process!
  • You don’t have to go back to collect your Passport!
  • You don’t lose money for incomplete or incorrect documents!
  • We can get your visa in 5 to 15 working days from date of submission.

If you do it yourself!

This entire procedure could take you more than 3 hours! Plus another trip back to collect your visa!

  • Their call centre is extremely busy and you could be on the phone for around 15-20 minutes to make an appointment.
  • They schedule appointments every half an hour – but they book around 50 people per slot. This means that even though you have a fixed appointment, you could still be in a queue with 49 other people for the same time slot!

So you have to get there a bit earlier than your appointment time. Once you get there you could be in a queue for around 20 minutes or more.

Once you get in you go through a number of processes:

  • A security check.
  • Next you go to the Welcome Desk where they run a quick check on your passport and application form.
  • Then you go to the waiting area, where you wait your turn to submit your documents to a customer service representative.
  • The customer service representative then checks all your documents thoroughly.
  • Next you go to pay for your application – where once again you may have to queue.
  • Then you wait in another queue to do your Biometrics.
  • Two days later you go back to TLS to once again queue up to get your passport and visa back.

The entire process could take 2-3 hours!

Important Updates

As of the 1st of January 2021, british passport holders will need a Long Stay Visa if staying in France or a French Overseas territory for more than 90 days no matter what the reason for travel, be it Business/Tourism/Visiting Family or just staying in your second home in France.

​Specific case of second homes owners in France:

  1. if you intend to spend more than 6 months a year in France or intend to move to France, you are not considered as a resident in France and cannot pretend to a ‘Carte de Séjour’ under the withdrawal agreement. You will have to apply for a temporary Long Stay visitor visa ‘VLS-T Visiteur’.

  2. if you spend more than 6 months a year in France, you are then considered as a French resident and must apply for a Long Stay visitor visa (visa de long séjour valant titre de séjour VLS-TS « visiteur »).
