Biometric Exemption (VIS Visa Holders

People who have obtained a Schengen visa with the taking of biometric data (fingerprints and taking a photograph), are exempt from giving their biometric data again if:

They have a photocopy of their previous Schengen visa which must bear the mention VIS;
The biometric data has been collected for less than 5 years (specifically within the last 59 months).

Under these conditions, it is not necessary to appear in person to submit a new visa application. A third party can file the application, which must be accompanied by the power of attorney letter completed and signed by the applicant. Applicants' attention is drawn to the fact that their file will be refused if the above conditions are not met.

The French Consulates in Cape Town and Johannesburg reserves the right to request a new fingerprinting if the data previously collected proves unusable.
