    Why a French team

    We read your file like the consulate will

    HelpMyVisa is built in France, by people who work with French administrative requirements every day.

    Sources in their original French

    Consulate requirements, prefecture practices and the France-Visas form itself are written in French. We read the originals — nothing gets lost in translation.

    We know what the counter expects

    VFS Global, TLScontact or Capago: we know how files are checked at the counter, and we prepare yours in the order they expect.

    Checks built from real refusal reasons

    Every automated rule comes from a real, documented reason files get refused — mismatched dates, weak funds, expired or missing documents.

    • 30+ checks on every file
    • 6 languages supported
    • First score in about a minute
    • GDPR-private by design
