“The Embassy of France in Manila clarified that there is no truth to reports that Schengen visas to France have been suspended following terror attacks carried out in Paris last week,” reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
In a statement issued on Tue, Nov 17, the embassy said “the French government has decided to re-establish internal border controls after the attacks in Paris on November 13.”
The statement explained: “This decision does not affect the validity of visas previously issued by French consulates or Schengen missions across the world, which should continue to allow entry in France and/or free circulation within the Schengen area.”
The embassy added that “to facilitate border entry, holders of Schengen visas are requested to have in their possession all documents justifying their trip to France.”
The Nov 13 suicide bombings and shootings in Paris left 129 people dead.
