Det kan vara möjligt, men bara om det franska konsulatet i Indien accepterar att du har "motiverat att sätta in ansökan vid det konsulatet" ( Schengen Visa-kod Artikel 6, punkt 2).
Om du tittar på handboken för behandling av visum applikationer ser du att resenärens bekvämlighet inte är generellt tillräcklig motivering. Till exempel:
Example: A Moroccan national who spends his holidays in Montreal (Canada) wishes to apply for a visa to travel to Germany at the German consulate in Montreal. He claims that the waiting time for obtaining an appointment for submitting the application at the German consulate in Rabat (Morocco) is too long.
The German consulate in Montreal should not accept to deal with the application, because the justification is unfounded.
Om din resa i maj har varit schemalagd nyligen, och din aprilavgång är för kort för att du kan få visum innan du lämnar, kan din rättfärdighet vara tillräcklig. Till exempel:
Example: A Russian businessman from Novorossiysk (Russia) has travelled to Moscow (Russia) for a trade fair. There he meets a Greek business person who invites him to come to Athens (Greece) straight away in order to establish a contract for a future business relationship. The Russian businessman wishes to apply for a visa at the Greek consulate in Moscow because the approximate travel/road distance between Moscow and Novorossiysk is around 1400 km.
The Greek consulate in Moscow should deal with the application because it would be excessive to require the person concerned to return to his city of residence to apply for the visa.
Om din resa har planerats för en stund, kommer konsulatet i Indien sannolikt att finna rättfärdigheten otillräcklig, eftersom du kunde ha tillämpat i USA i februari eller mars.
