French Consulate = is a filipina experimenting Visa rule post-visa ?

iv had schengen visa twice, but was never asked to report to the embassy on my return.. i didnt go to france tho and i wasnt a tourist visa..

if they require you to report after the trip, i guess its safer to do that so u wont get compromised if u applied again for a french visa..

dunno if this can help

Thanks for your reply.
Yours was Schengen but delivered by Norway consulate..

French consulate deliver same type of visa but... add a sentence at botoom on passport page "Kindly report to the consulate after your trip".

I guess its special requirrement of France to slow down the tourism from Philippines.
Its why I search on this forum if other consulates do same way...
and if another pinay with French visa experienced to escape this useless obligation.

Last year for 1st visa it was same sentence and they accepted I report by e-mail with proof of return.
But in 2014 they changed of mind and request "report in person at consulate".

Its really waste of time (1 day) and money, to pay flights back and forth to Manila, only to show during 5 minutes a passport with stamps.

awww, sorry to hear... yea, its a real inconvenience to travel just to show up in the embassy as proof that ur back..
u mentioned "flying".. so where are u? and whats the closest french embassy to ur place? maybe the flying part can be an excuse coz its both costly and a waste of time, when u can just email them a copy of ur philippine entry stamp... anyways, that sounds like a really unfair rule..

My gf is pinay from Cebu province.

Early morning 3h to go to airport then 2h before departure then 1h+ of flight then 1h of taxi to arrive Makati consulate.

Then 5 minutes to show up after xx hours waiting on line in consulate.

Then return same way at night and missing school at least one day for useless comedy.
And fares back and forth.

French consulate is abusing security rules to slow down the Pilina immigration and to limit the tourists entrances. Maybe they don't like Philippines' people.

I see Norway consulate don't use this process.
Is there another SCHENGEN country same or different ?

This rule was  really a selective one for a reason.; Most Filipinos using tourist visa to visit France didnt come back anymore. They tend to stay in FRance comme sans papier.. donc Viola les autres ete pénaliser.

I guess there is a satellite french embassy in Cebu you can try to check if it just alright.
