Hello fellow VJ's,

First some contextualization, the emigrant visas from Portugal are handle by the Paris Embassy so i'll have to go to Paris for my interview.

My interview is next Thursday and I still need the 2 photos and the chronopost envelope, I've read somewhere that you can get those directly at the embassy, can anyone confirm this.

If not what is my best option to get the chronopost envelope? I will have to buy it in France? or can I buy it in Portugal before I go the Paris embassy?

And as for the photos I'll just have to to get them here and try to follow the guidelines, if the embassy doesn't provide that service.

Buy your Envelop from out side, embassy is very expensive, You may be able to buy from portugal, if not just go to any la poste and get from them. and yes get your photos before going to embassy.

People residing outside france that have their process in paris can't buy the chronopost envelope at the embassy.

They need to buy the 2kg with EU destination(payed 57 Euros), the ones they sell at the embassy are only for addresses in France.
