(Step 4)
For Students Requiring a Visa
Please contact the Campus France office in your country or region to begin your student visa application process. We strongly advise you to start these procedures at least 3 months before the start of the academic year.
Applications submitted only 2 months before the intake are, in most cases, rejected by the Embassy.
To assist you, please note that the following scenarios frequently lead to a visa refusal:
- Staying in a private residence with an acquaintance (such as a friend, uncle, or aunt)
- Accommodation located more than 1 hour away from your school via public transit
- iAn interview that feels unnatural, impersonal, or consists of overly short answers
- Being unable to clearly explain your future study program
- Financial issues (insufficient monthly income or savings from parents; recent lump-sum money transfers are flagged as suspicious)
- Missing or falsified documents (the Embassy will re-verify diplomas directly with the issuing school via email)
SEE YOU SOON AT ILCI !
