Along with heightening its presence and establishing a local office in Guyana, the French Government is also prioritizing allowing Guyanese to have easier access to the Schengen Visa when the office here is fully ‘up and running’ instead of them having them travel to neighbouring Suriname.
Stabroek News on Tuesday spoke to Resident Representative of the French Embassy in Guy-ana, Pierre Gate, who said that the Schengen Visa which allows persons to travel to 27 countries in Europe will be one of their top priorities when their local office, which will contain a full-fledged diplomat but not a full-fledged embassy, is set up in September.
