The Embassy of India in Paris will hold a special consular camp this Saturday, 21 February 2026, from 09:30 to 15:00 at its 16th-arrondissement chancery. Applicants must pre-book an online slot, after which officers will process passport renewals, Overseas Citizen of India cards, attestation services and emergency travel documents.
The outreach follows complaints about appointment backlogs that stretched to eight weeks during the recent holiday season. By bringing biometric kits and printing stations on-site, the embassy expects to handle up to 500 cases in a single day – a relief for the 200,000-strong Indian community as well as French employers awaiting paperwork for intra-company transfers.

For assignees or HR teams who prefer end-to-end support, VisaHQ can pre-screen documentation, arrange secure courier pick-ups and track applications in real time—streamlining everything from Indian passport renewals to French work visas. Explore their services at https://www.visahq.com/france/
HR teams should circulate the registration link and remind employees that original passports, proof of address and French residence permits are mandatory. For time-sensitive travel, the mission will issue tatkal (urgent) passports within three working days, provided documentation is complete.
Periodic satellite camps – often in Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse – form part of India’s global consular-outreach strategy, but this is the first Paris edition of 2026. Mobility managers with large Indian assignee populations may wish to liaise with the embassy to secure group slots or corporate briefing sessions.
