Advice about obtaining a french student visa, carte de séjour, etc?

junedecember2009 asked:


Once I have a letter confirming my admission to a school program in France (a private culinary institution) what steps do I need to take to get my student visa and what other legal documents are required to stay in France for 8 months? Can you recommend a relocation agency to help in the move? my french is good but not good enough to deal with more complex and important situation , like a visit to the police.

    You will obtain your long stay student visa from the nearest French consulate in the United States.

    In addition to providng two copies of your letter of admission you will need to fill out this application (2 copies):

    You will need 2 copies of a financial guarantee such as a notarized statement from your parents certifying that the applicant will receive a monthly allowance of 800 US dollars for the duration of your stay in France and last 3 bank statements, OR a proof of personal income and last 3 bank statements and a letter from the University stating that room, board and tuition are fully prepaid.

    An ID number from Campus France :

    2 copies of of your last Degree, Diploma, student ID, or transcripts.

    Proof of medical insurance valid in France unless your school is one that can register you with the French health insurance system.

    Obtaining your Carte du Sejour from the local authorities is a fairly simple formality and I am sure that your school will be ready to direct you to the proper office.
