ORIGINAL POSTERHi,
Anyone here tried getting a letter from the French Embassy for the visa extension before?
I applied for the SMART Visa on the 30 July and they assured me that I don't need to apply for an extension back then since they will give me a reply before 11th Sept.
And well, now they got back to me and told me there has been a delay due to long public holidays and told me now that maybe I should request get an extension. :(
Wrote to the French embassy yesterday and has not gotten a reply from them. I supposed I'm one of the people who are flooding their mails now and freaking out with the deadline.
I am not even sure if the French embassy will issue any letter. Would appreciate if anyone who has applied successfully let me know how to get in contact with them.
Thanks!

Doing the exact same. Hoping the email from BOI will be enough to satisfy the UK embassy. Hope you get it!

ORIGINAL POSTERThanks. I decided to take a visit to the Smart Visa office personally. Turned out they are more into it once they see you physically. Seems like I'll be able to get this settled by next week.
@Chris ****
have you applied for BOI or Smart Visa? Chris *****

I went to True Digital Park yesterday and met with them, lovely people. I am finalising my pitchdeck and application, submitting this evening, and hopefully the auto reply will be enough for my embassy to issue me a letter for the 30 day extension. Processing for smart visa is 30 days so the letter extension is the last real shot. Tai *******
Hi
@Chris ****
is it okay if PM you? I was thinking of going with True and was hoping to pick your headGeorgi *****
ORIGINAL POSTER@Chris ****
Do note that the 30days Smart Visa refers to 30 working days. So the visa extension might be insufficient.Reply to
