Members of a Facebook group for those applying for French visas and residency permits have noticed that they received a VLS-TS, a visa which allows visitor stays between six months and one year and can be renewed, instead of the non-renewable VLS-T, which allows stays of six months.

If you have applied for a long-stay visitor visa recently, please share with us your experience, as well as whether or not you experienced an issue receiving a VLS-T visa.

Your answers may form the basis of an article, so please answer as thoroughly as possible.

Thanks for taking part.
