TLSCONTACT, specializing in the provision of visa services, will be expected to open the first of its kind to El -Ayoun to submit French visa requests, from May 27, 2025, in a movement aimed at bringing the consular services of Moroccan citizens closer, in particular the inhabitants of the southern regions, and to facilitate procedures to obtain the visa.
And it is planned that this new center will provide regular dates throughout the month depending on the volume of requests, because the candidates will be able to reserve their appointments via the official digital platform, and the Center crew will accompany the comrades at all stages of the submission of the request, based on the collection of documents to the sending of the competent consular interest.
This decision represents a tangible strengthening of the quality of consular services, because it reflects the interest of the French party to bring the administration closer to citizens and facilitate access to administrative services in various regions of the kingdom, including the South regions.
The opening of this center presents itself in an advanced political and diplomatic context observed by Moroccan relations -FRENCH, embodied by procedures on the ground which reflect the trend of Paris towards the support of the Moroccan Sahara, after a period of apathy in bilateral relations.
Observers believe that the opening of this center is not only an administrative measure, but rather a political message which improves French opening to the dynamism of development in the Moroccan Sahara, and confirms the growing recognition of the legitimacy of the Moroccan position on the international scene.
The past few weeks have experienced vast diplomatic exchanges between Rabat and Paris, interspersed with clear indications to change the French position in the direction of the real and real recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty on its southern regions, by institutional stages on the ground, in particular the strengthening of the consular presence and services in the city of Laayoune.
