Visa process and residence permit

VISA

If you are a citizen of a non-European Community country (even if you presently reside in a European Community country) you will need to obtain a long-term student visa before coming to France. A request is to be made at the Consulate in your country of origin for a “Visa de Long Séjour – Demande d’attestation OFII”. The Consulate will stamp this of!cial document (upon arrival in France please bring this document to the International Relations Of!ce).

Documents that will need to be handed into the international relations office upon arrival:
- Photocopy of your passport (pages with photo, personal information, visa and stamp showing date of entry into France).
- Form given to you by the Consulate or Embassy “Demande d’attestation OFII”. The International Relations Of!ce will send your completed !le to the OFII in Metz. You will then receive a convocation letter to a medical visit*.

Make sure you bring the document « Visa Long Séjour Demande d’attestation OFII » to France and to the International Relations Office upon your arrival.
