Hi,
I have been on holiday in France for 2 months, just on my passport that requires no Visa - 90 days. I have been asked by my friends, who live in France to stay for Christmas and I would love to stay. I called the Embassy in Paris and they said to go to the local prefecture and they will tell me more. So off I went ... My friend came with me who speaks french and she explained to the woman at the prefecture that I would like to extend my holiday. I was handed a yellow form to fill out. Afterwards, the woman at the prefecture said I needed to come back with a letter written in french saying why I want to stay longer and a copy of the contract for where I am staying.
I have to go back on monday when they are open - fingers crossed.
I called the Embassy back to see if what I am doing sounds right and the woman said it is not possible to extend my Visa but maybe I will be lucky ??
My question is has anyone applied to extend their holiday in france once they are here and how did you go?
I am really stressing about this ....
Thanks I would love anyone's advice ..
