Capago, the service provider responsible for handling French visa applications in Algeria, has announced a temporary technical outage of the France-Visas portal. The portal will be inaccessible on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM. Throughout this four-hour window, users will not be able to create, fill out, or update their visa application forms. The company reminds applicants that presenting a fully completed and signed form is a mandatory requirement for their appointment at the centers in Algiers, Oran, Annaba, or Constantine, and that they must ensure their documentation is ready prior to their arrival.
