Assistance in obtaining visas for international students

How to obtain a visa? 

Your studies at ESLSCA last more than 3 months, so you need to obtain a STUDENT VISA, a long-stay visa. The long-stay visa validating a residence permit for "students", or VLS-TS "student", allows you to study in France for a period of four months to one year. When it expires, you must apply for a residence permit to stay in France..

How to obtain a residence permit?

YOU ARRIVED IN FRANCE WITH A LONG STAY VISA VALID FOR RESIDENCE (VLS- TS)

If you have a VLS-TS, you do not need to apply for a residence permit while it is valid (your visa is equivalent to a residence permit).
However, you must validate it online within 2 months of entering France.
The validation of your VLS-TS is done electronically

YOU WISH TO RENEW YOUR STUDENT RESIDENCE PERMIT

If your permit expires and you wish to continue your studies, you must renew it.
The application to renew your student residence permit must be made within the 2 months preceding the expiration of your permit or your long stay visa validating a residence permit (VLS TS).
Please make an appointment at the International Students and Researchers Reception Center
