How does HelpMyVisa work?

Choose to prepare your France-Visas form step by step with guided answers, or upload your completed France-Visas PDF and supporting documents for an automated review. You get a clear checklist of what is ready and what needs fixing before your appointment.

How much does HelpMyVisa cost?

One-time payment, three packages: France-Visas Form Helper at €29, Application Review at €49, and Full Application + Documents Review at €89. You can upgrade later.

Is HelpMyVisa affiliated with the French government?

No. HelpMyVisa is a private preparation tool and is not affiliated with France-Visas, VFS Global, TLScontact, Capago, any embassy, consulate or government. We do not submit applications or guarantee visa approval.

Yes. HelpMyVisa uses encrypted storage, complies with GDPR, and never shares your documents with third parties. Expired documents are automatically purged.

Do I bring originals or copies?

Bring both. Originals for verification and copies for the visa centre file.

Can I edit my application at the appointment?

Generally no. Corrections should be made before you submit and before you arrive at the visa centre.

What if I forgot a document?

You may be asked to come back or send it later, which can delay the decision. A pre-appointment review reduces the risk.
