There is no other way! There are no online applications, there are no cards of invitation, not the documents of the Embassy of France are providing to join the French foreign legion. Keep in mind.

He will be added as a single man, even if he is married. The first contract that you register is 5 years.

The complete recruitment and selection process takes 2 to 5 weeks (in most cases, the exact period depends on each candidate individually). The process begins when your passport passes to a service legion in a recruitment center (either an information office or a pre-selection center, you will see the list below).

The process ends when it is accepted or officially rejected. Throughout the period (to pass the passport to a legionary until acceptance or rejection), the Legion provides free accommodation, food and clothing.
