A handle device for a vehicle which is fixed to a door of a vehicle, and remotely operates a door latch device which performs a latch releasing operation by an electric actuator and a latch releasing operation by an operating force transmission member, the device comprising: an operating member which is rotatably operable in a direction that matches an opening operation direction of the door until reaching an emergency corresponding position (θE, θe) via an operation position (θA, θa) from an initial position, and which becomes a handle when performing the opening operation with respect to the door; a switch member which transitions an operation circuit to be in a contact state with respect to the electric actuator as an actuator portion is pushed in accordance with a rotation operation to the operation position of the operating member; a linking portion which moves the operating force transmission member to the operation position (θA, θa) in accordance with the movement to the emergency corresponding position (θE, θe) of the operating member wherein the linking portion includes a rotating body which is driven to rotate by the operating member, a follower body which is driven by a cam portion formed in the rotating body, and in which one end thereof is linked to the operating force transmission member, and a guide portion which regulates a moving direction of the follower body; and a resistance applying portion which holds the operating member at the operation position by a predetermined holding force, characterized in that the resistance applying portion is formed by a cam portion which corresponds to a steep cam curve in a rotation angle in which an increment of a movement amount of the follower body per unit operation angle of the operating member exceeds the operation position. an operating member which is rotatably operable in a direction that matches an opening operation direction of the door until reaching an emergency corresponding position (θE, θe) via an operation position (θA, θa) from an initial position, and which becomes a handle when performing the opening operation with respect to the door; a switch member which transitions an operation circuit to be in a contact state with respect to the electric actuator as an actuator portion is pushed in accordance with a rotation operation to the operation position of the operating member; a linking portion which moves the operating force transmission member to the operation position (θA, θa) in accordance with the movement to the emergency corresponding position (θE, θe) of the operating member wherein the linking portion includes a rotating body which is driven to rotate by the operating member, a follower body which is driven by a cam portion formed in the rotating body, and in which one end thereof is linked to the operating force transmission member, and a guide portion which regulates a moving direction of the follower body; and a resistance applying portion which holds the operating member at the operation position by a predetermined holding force, characterized in that the resistance applying portion is formed by a cam portion which corresponds to a steep cam curve in a rotation angle in which an increment of a movement amount of the follower body per unit operation angle of the operating member exceeds the operation position.
