Background
The information is published on the official website of the prefecture of Haute-Savoie (haute-savoie.gouv.fr). It concerns the general reception, i.e. reception of the public, as well as the digital point of reception of the office of citizenship and regulated activities.
Why it's important
Many administrative procedures, particularly for foreigners (residence permits, naturalization), are carried out through these services. Presenting a closing day results in unnecessary displacement and waste of time. Knowing the closing date allows you to re-plan your visit.
What Changes
One change: a one-time closure to the public on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. The usual operation applies on other days, unless new announcement is made.
