Title: Travel plan / Itinerary format or sample
Post by: Adrikstalin on October 15, 2015, 04:45:19 pm
I just wanted to ask how should the travel itinerary be like. I am travelling to France for 24 days to visit my girlfriend and her family so I have nothing much to mention in my travel plan since I am going for a visit.

Oh and, is 24days stay in France considered suspicious? Some countries find it suspicious when someone is staying for too long even though 24 days is not actually long but I'm just curious.

Thanks in advance

You might want to provide written description of where you will be (which cities/places you will visit), and what you will do there (perhaps you can include information about some local festivities, events, or exhibitions that you plan on attending, also a link to their websites). Even if you write that you will visit and spend the most of your time with your relatives, it is still better than not providing any details as the embassy will see that your travel has some goal.

Average length of stay of visitors in France is 6.1 days (source: UNCTAD Tourism indicators). So, your stay is above average, but I would not call it suspicious. Visiting close friends is understandable to be longer.
