Article 954 of the French General Tax Code

A fee of €12 is charged for each foreign passport visa, the validity of which may not exceed one year, if the visa is valid for the outward and return journey, and €6 if it is valid only for the outward journey. However, the visa is issued free of charge, as a reciprocal measure, to nationals of foreign powers whose list is drawn up by order of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of the Interior and the Minister of the Economy and Finance.

The provisions of this article apply to visas for travel documents issued to refugees and stateless persons.

Article 954

Chaque visa de passeport étranger, dont la durée de validité ne peut être supérieure à un an, donne lieu à la perception d’un droit de 12 €, si le visa est valable pour l’aller et retour, et de 6 €, s’il n’est valable que pour la sortie. Toutefois, le visa est délivré gratuitement, par mesure de réciprocité, aux ressortissants des puissances étrangères dont la liste est établie par arrêté du ministre des affaires étrangères, du ministre de l’intérieur et du ministre de l’économie et des finances.

Les dispositions du présent article sont applicables aux visas des titres de voyage délivrés aux réfugiés et aux apatrides.
