I’d like to take my mother to Paris in August but she’s a Bangladeshi passport holder with a US greencard. As I’m a US passport holder, I’m having a hard time figuring out how/when to get her Visa and any requirements I should be aware of.
Would anyone please be able to help me? :(
I’d love to take her - it’s her dream!
If your mother holds Bangladeshi passport then she should apply for visa in Dhaka at French Embassy. Check this:
http://bd.ambafrance.org/Applying-for-a-French-visa-in-Bangladesh . If she lives in the USA, direct your question to French embassy in Washington D.C.
She needs to apply to the nearest French consulate or embassy to where she lives (in the USA?).
She will get a "Schengen Visa" which is valid for all Schengen Area countries usually for 90 days. If she plans to visit and non-Schengen countries (for example, the UK) then return to France, she will need a multi-entry visa.
As a US passport holder you will get an allowance of 90 days in 180, with as many exits and re-entries as you wish, without having to get a visa first.
