Visabio
Visabio is the French Government system for tracking applicants to its national visa system. It stores biometric data including fingerprints and photographs.[1] Visabio is connected to the European Visa Information System (VIS),[2] though Visabio has also been described as "the French segment of VIS."[3] Customs officers in France use Visabio.[4]
Database
[edit | edit source]In 2007, it was estimated that the data of two million people would be added to the system each year, as all applications for a French visa would be entered into the system. Only children younger than 6 months would be exempted.[5]
Efficacy
[edit | edit source]The perpetrator of the 2017 Paris machete attack was identified after a Visabio search,[6] stated François Molins, the chief prosecutor of Paris.[7][8]
Legal Basis
[edit | edit source]The program arises from French national law Nr. 2003-1119 of 26 November 2003, also called "Sarkozy Law I," but officially entitled law of «Control of immigration, residence of foreigners in France, and nationality[9]
