countries. Therefore if one Schengen Agreement country such as France
or the UK issues a visitor with a visa, it is valid in all the other
Schengen countries.
You must have a valid passport with at expiry date of at least six
months after your departure date from Australia.
Australia
has a working holiday maker visa program with France now so Australians
aged between 18 and 30 years are able to live and work in France for

Look after your passport! An Australian passport is highly
prized on the black market.
It is a good idea to take a colur scan of your passport, drivers licence
and other important documents and email it to a web based email address
like a hotmail account. That way if your documents are lost or stolen
you can email them directly to the Embassy to speed up processing
of new ones.
