Holding UK work permit; need french visa

[piplimoon]

Hi,
I am currently in the UK, on a work permit visa. I want to visit my relatives in france for 4 days. Do I need a Visa?
If so what type and how long will it take to get one?
Alos, I might need to go to france on business, sponsored by a UK governmental organisation.
What then?
Please help!

Your UK visa is no use for EU travel unfortunately. Whether you need a visa to visit France depends solely on your nationality. What passport(s) do you have?
