YEREVAN. – The Embassy of France in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia, will further speed up the consideration of visa applications, French Ambassador Jean-François Charpentier informed on Friday. 

In his words, the tourist visa applications are now reviewed within just 78 hours, whereas they are considered faster during more quiet seasons, when the trips are less in number.

“Nonetheless, we want to bring the [visa application] review period [down] to 48 hours,” the ambassador noted. “I can assure [you] that this will happen within the next several months.”
