Check your Francevisa application status.

Where you track a French visa depends on which visa centre took your file ¹. At a CAPAGO centre you need your file reference and email address. At a TLS centre you log in to your TLS account. At a VFS centre you need the reference number you were given and your surname. If none of these apply, you use your France-Visas user account ¹.

What the tracker shows

France-Visas shows the progress of your application ¹. It also states that it cannot give any detail on whether the visa will be issued ("aucune precision ne pourra etre apportee sur la delivrance ou non du visa sollicite") ¹. A change in the tracker therefore tells you about progress, not about the outcome.

Applying from Bangladesh

The French embassy page says you file online on France-Visas and then deposit the file in person at the visa centre. It does not name the centre for Bangladesh ². You can file up to six months before departure, and the page warns that appointment booking and review can lengthen the process depending on location and season ². The embassy page does not say who decides applications in Dhaka ².

Short-stay visa numbers for Dhaka

These are European Commission figures for Schengen short-stay (type C) visas at the French consulate in Dhaka in 2024, for all purposes. They do not cover national long-stay student visas ³. The consulate had 4,150 applications, issued 2,291 uniform visas and did not issue 1,821 ³. Dividing not issued by applied gives 1,821 / 4,150, about 44%, but the file counts decisions made in the year, so the two totals do not match exactly ³. This is a short-stay refusal share, not a student-visa refusal rate.

Have your reference number from the visa centre ready for the status check above.
