Question 43508 — embassies and consulates

Summary

Mr. Stéphane Vojetta questions the Minister Delegate to the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, responsible for tourism, French people living abroad and the Francophonie, and to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery, responsible for SMEs, about consular tours for the renewal of identity documents for French people living abroad. These tours are intended primarily for French people who do not have the physical or financial possibility of traveling to consulates with biometric tools and are essential for the French community in the face of these obstacles. However, the MP is being contacted by people who are having difficulty benefiting from these tours in their region of residence. During the peak of the health crisis, these tours were interrupted to preserve everyone's health but are only timidly resuming in Spain. As for the Lisbon consulate, it was announced on October 26, 2020 that it would soon be equipped with a Consuléo mobile biometric tool but there was only a tour in Porto on June 15, 2021. This momentum must be sustained. Also, understanding the situation of consulate agents faced with numerous renewal requests following the health crisis, he would like to know what can be considered to guarantee the organization regular these tours, valuable for compatriots who have mobility or financial problems.
