Fransa, Schengen bölgesinin üyesidir ve Türkiye'den Fransa Schengen vizesi başvuruları VFS Global üzerinden alınır. Başvuru, asıl seyahat hedefiniz Fransa ise veya en uzun süreyi burada geçirecekseniz bu ülkeye yapılır. Cascade kuralı kapsamında, önceki vizelerinizi kurallara uygun kullandıysanız Fransa başvurunuzda daha uzun süreli çok girişli vizeye hak kazanabilirsiniz.

Document Checklist →The cascade rule is a tiered system whereby Turkish citizens residing in Türkiye who use their previous Schengen visas in compliance earn progressively longer multiple-entry visas at each application: short → 6 months → 1 year → 3 years → 5 years.
It covers Turkish citizens who reside in Türkiye and apply from Türkiye. Truck drivers are excluded from this regime. The rule applies only to short-stay (type C) visas.
On a first application you are usually granted only a short-stay or limited multiple-entry visa covering your trip. If you use it in compliance, your next application moves up to the 6-month multiple-entry stage.
You must have used your previous visa without overstaying — entering and exiting on time — and submit the new application within 1–2 years of the previous visa's expiry.
