The Eiffel Tower and Pont Alexandre III at night

Paris

Flights from Bujumbura, the visa file and the stay, arranged from our office.

BJM → CDG · France · Via Nairobi

Why go

The Schengen file comes first and the ticket comes second. We build the file before anyone pays for a seat, because a refused visa with a paid ticket is the worst outcome in this business.

What to know before you book

  • Biometric appointment in person — plan the trip to the visa centre in Nairobi or Kigali into your dates
  • Apply to the country where you will spend the most nights, not the one you land in
  • We issue a confirmed return reservation for the file without taking payment for the ticket
When to go
May, June and September are the kind months. August empties of Parisians and fills with queues.
Who it suits
Family visits, students, conferences, diaspora reunions
