Question 17761 — foreigners

Summary

Mr. Vincent Seitlinger draws the attention of the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs to the suspicions of visa diversion which sometimes weigh on foreigners coming to France in border regions. Indeed, they often land at the airport closest to these areas, which is frequently in another country. Although this situation could legitimately suggest an attempt at visa hijacking, it often results from a simple economic arbitrage. Traveling to France can involve high costs for foreigners, ranging from visa application to transportation to the final destination of stay. For example, for the Turkish community, the VFS Global procedure can be costly. It is therefore understandable that travelers seek to reduce these costs as much as possible, for example by choosing the airport closer to their final destination. Likewise, some airports offer cheaper flights to certain destinations due to the presence of a large foreign community nearby. These choices correspond more to financial and practical realities that should be better understood. He therefore asks him what measures he intends to take to ensure that these situations do not mechanically lead to the establishment of a suspicion of visa diversion.
