France has recently announced a new policy that will grant longer validity Schengen visas to Cambodian alumni. This blog post will discuss the new policy and its eligibility requirements.
What is the new policy?
Under the new policy, Cambodian alumni with a master`s degree or higher from a French university will now be eligible for a Schengen visa valid for one to five years. This is a significant increase from the standard Schengen visa, which is typically valid for only 90 days.
Who is eligible?
The new policy applies to Cambodian citizens who have graduated with a master`s degree or higher from a French university. Spouses and minor children of these alumni are also eligible for the longer validity visas.
What are the benefits?
The longer validity Schengen visa will allow Cambodian alumni to travel more freely within the Schengen Area. The Schengen Area is a zone of 26 European countries that have abolished passport controls at their mutual borders. With a longer validity visa, alumni can visit multiple Schengen countries during their stay and can return more frequently over a longer period.
How to apply
To apply for the new visa, Cambodians must register online and present their degree and other required documents at their visa interview.
Conclusion
The new policy is a welcome development for Cambodian alumni of French universities. It will allow them to travel more freely within the Schengen Area and will strengthen ties between France and Cambodia.
