TLDR : Answer Summary

The DTV visa application process in Paris is known for its long processing times, often exceeding a month, with reported times of up to six weeks. Many advise against applying in Paris, citing slow processing and poor communication, suggesting it may be quicker to apply from nearby London or from Vietnam instead.

Thank you! I’m planing to be in Paris for two months this fall and thought to apply there, but I guess it’s better to fly from Paris to Vietnam (Danang, Hoi An, Dalat - we anyway wanted to live there a couple of months) and apply from there. From what their website shows it’s fast and easy.

Takes at least a month and is infamous for poor communication. Much quicker via nearby London.

One of the slowest and longest processing times for visas of ANY consulate in the world.

I think they have it posted on their website that it's a six WEEK processing time

That is NOT a consulate to apply thru from what I remember people reporting
