Hi guys,
I am planning on traveling to France to apply to the FFL in 4 weeks time from now, and was just hoping to get a bit of guidance as to how to go about entering the country. I am planning to fly into Paris airport (the flight I'm planning on taking arrives at about 1.50 pm from memory), staying one night in a hotel to try to get used to the new time zone, then heading to the Fort the next day. All of that is no prob, the bit I am worried about is customs as i enter the country. I don't need a visa from Australia, but the visa website is telling me that i need a bunch of things, including reservations for hotels for my stay. What I am thinking at this stage is to just give them proof that i have the money to buy a return ticket ‘when i leave’ (hopefully not for a few years at least!), and the reservation for the hotel for the night, and tell them I am planning of just travelling around the country/Europe.
Just hoping for someone who actually knows to tell me if this is likely to work or not? And any other tips you may have in general would be great.
Cheers,
Sheldon
