你是否需要學生簽證?

你是否需要法國學生簽證將取決于你是否是歐盟國家的學生。

如果你是一名歐盟國家學生，或者是來自歐洲經濟區(qū)、瑞士、冰島、或者列支敦士登的學生，那么你去法國留學是不需要學生簽證的。為了合法留學法國，你需要的僅僅只是一個有效的護照、或者是其他有效的旅行證件。

如果你是一名來自世界上其他國家(除了上述國家之外)的學生，那么為了實現(xiàn)去法國留學，你需要獲得一個法國學生簽證。

What type of French student visa will you need?

There are several types of French student visa, and the one you require will differ depending on how long you are planning to study in France for。

Schengen student visa (short-stay)

If your studies will last less than three months, and you are sure you will not be spending any longer in the country, then you should apply for the court séjour pour étude, otherwise known as the short-stay or Schengen student visa。
The Schengen student visa is issued free of charge and cannot be renewed。

Visa to sit entrance exams

If you need to travel to France in order to sit one or more university entrance exams, you can apply for the visa de court séjour étudiant concours, which simply means a visa for sitting entrance exams。
If you sit your exam and pass, you are then eligible to apply for a renewable, one-year residence permit。 For more information, contact the admissions department of the French institution you wish to study at。

Temporary long-stay visa

The visa de long séjour temporaire pour études is a temporary student visa that allows you to study in France for a period of up to six months。
With this student visa for France you do not need to apply separately for a residence permit。

Long-stay visa

Known as the visa de long séjour pour études or the extended-stay VLT-TS, the long-stay visa is what you need if you wish to study in France for longer than six months。
This visa acts as a residence permit and lasts for the duration of your study period (normally three years for a bachelor’s degree, two years for a master’s program and four years for a PhD)。
Algerian nationals do not require the VLS-TS, but are subject to different provisions。 Contact your institution or the French consulate/embassy in your own country for more information。

你需要哪種類型的法國學生簽證?

法國留學有多種類型的學生簽證，你所需要的學生簽證類型將根據(jù)你計劃在法國的學習時間的長短來決定。

申根學生簽證(短期)：

如果你的學習時間少于三個月，并且你確定自己不會在法國有任何的停留的話，那么你應該申請court séjour pour étude，即短期停留或申根學生簽證。
申根簽證是免費的，并且不能更新續(xù)簽。

參加入學考試簽證：

如果你是因為需要參加一所或者多所大學的入學考試需要前往法國，那么你可以申請de court séjour étudiant concours簽證，簡單來說就是為了參加入學考試而申請的簽證。
如果你參加了入學考試并且通過考試的話，那么你有資格申請一個可續(xù)簽的為期一年的居留許可。了解更多的信息，請聯(lián)系你希望就讀的法國大學招生部。

臨時長期停留簽證：

de long séjour temporaire pour études簽證是一個臨時的學生簽證，它允許學生在法國停留至多6個月。
獲得了這種類型的學生簽證的學生，將不需要申請單獨的居住許可證。

長期停留簽證：

也叫做de long séjour pour études簽證或者是延長停留時間的VLT-TS簽證。如果你在法國的學習時間超過6個月的話，那么你需要辦理的是長期停留簽證。
這個類型的簽證可以充當居住許可，并且有效時間將會持續(xù)到你整個的學習時間(學士學位專業(yè)通常是3年，碩士學位專業(yè)是2年，而博士學位專業(yè)通常是4年)。來自阿爾及利亞的學生不需要VLS-TS，但以不同的規(guī)定為準。聯(lián)系你的大學或在自己國家的法國領事館/大使館獲取更多的信息。

How to apply for a student visa for France

Nationals from a number of countries will apply for their French student visa through Campus France, the country’s official national agency for higher education and international students。
Those students would also have been required to use Campus France to apply to their chosen French institutions, via the CEF procedure。
See this list of countries to find out if you need to apply for both your visa and your admission in this way。

If your country of origin is not listed in the link above, then you will be responsible for both your university application and your student visa application。
only once you have received acceptance onto a program at a French institution will you be eligible to apply for your student visa for France。

In order to apply for your visa, you will need to contact the French consulate in your home country and provide them with the following, when requested:

An official acceptance letter onto an accredited program at a French institution。
This should be on officially headed paper, featuring your full details, the details of your program of study and the start and end dates of study。

Proof of sufficient funds for living in the country。 The current amount required is €615 (US$820) per month, which can be shown with a bank statement, a guarantor’s letter or a notice of funding from a loan, scholarship or grant。

Proof of return ticket home。 Often this is in the form of the actual ticket or reservation showing the date of departure, but can be a handwritten statement of intent, including intended departure dates。

Proof of medical insurance (minimum cover €30,000, US$40,150)

Proof of accommodation。 Can be shown in the form of student housing confirmation or a certificate of board and lodging or ‘attestation d’accueil’ (if you’re living with friends or relatives)。

Proof of proficiency in French, if you are studying a French-language course。

如何申請法國學生簽證?

大部分國家的學生都將通過法國教育服務中心(即高等教育和國際學生的法國官方國家機構)申請法國學生簽證。
這些學生之前也是需要使用法國教育服務中心通過CEF程序來申請自己感興趣的法國大學。瀏覽這些國家的清單列表，查看自己是否需要通過這種方式來申請簽證或者是學校入學。

如果你的原籍國沒有列在上述清單中，那么你需要自己申請學校以及學生簽證。一旦你獲得了法國某一大學某專業(yè)的錄取通知書，就具備了申請法國學生簽證的資格。

為了申請你的簽證，你需要聯(lián)系你原籍國的法國大使館，并且按照需要提供以下一些材料文件：

- 法國大學某一公認專業(yè)的正式錄取通知書，官方文件，具有完整的詳細信息，你的專業(yè)和學習的開始和結束日期的詳細信息;

- 足夠的法國留學資金證明，目前的資金證明標準是每一個月€615 (US$820)，可以通過銀行聲明、贊助者信件、或者是獲得貸款、獎學金或者助學金的資助通知來證明;

- 回國機票證明，通常為實際的機票，或顯示離開日期的預訂機票，但也可以為手寫的意向書，包括預定的離境日期;

- 醫(yī)療保險證明(最低覆蓋范圍是€30,000, US$40,150);

- 住宿證明，學生宿舍確認或其他證明 (如果你住在朋友或親戚家);

- 法語語言能力證明，如果你學習法語授課專業(yè)的話。

On arrival in France

When you arrive in France with an extended stay VLS-TS, you will need to send the official form which was presented to you along with your visa to the French Office of Immigration and Integration (OFII)。
This can be by registered mail, or in person if you reside in Paris。 In the same letter, you should also provide a copy of your valid passport, including pages showing your identity and the stamp issued upon entry into France。

once your form and copied passport pages have been received, you will be sent a receipt of confirmation with further instructions on your next steps if required。
This may be an instruction to obtain a medical examination if you have not previously received one in your country of origin。

Often your institution of study will help you with this part of the process。 In some cases, an agreement exists between the OFII and the school in question, meaning documents can be submitted to the school instead of the French authorities。

In all instances, you will be expected to pay a tax of €58 (US$78) to handle administration costs。

抵達法國：

當你憑借延長停留時間的VLS-TS抵達法國的時候，你將需要遞交正式的表格，與你的簽證一同遞交給法國移民和融合辦公室(OFII)。
這可以通過掛號郵件的方式遞交，也可以是本人親自遞交(如果你居住在巴黎的話)。在同一封信件中，你還應該提供一份你的有效護照的復印件、包括顯示你的個人信息以及許可進入法國的印章所在的頁面。

一旦你的表格和復印護照頁面被接收，你會收到一個接收確認函，并且上面會告知你接下來應該怎么做，如果有必要的話。
如果你之前還沒有在你的原籍國獲得一個醫(yī)學檢查證明的話，那么這有可能是一個有關進行醫(yī)學檢查的指導。

通常，你的學習指南會幫助你完成這個過程。一些情況下，在OFII以及學校之間是存在協(xié)議的，這意味著文件可以遞交給學校，而不是法國權利機構。

在所有情況下，你都需要支付€58 (US$78)的稅費用于管理成本。

Working in France with a French student visa

With a valid residence permit (the VLS-TS functions as such), as an international student you are eligible to take on paid work for 964 hours annually (this equates to about 60% full-time employment)。
This number of hours is configured for work between the periods of 1 September to 31 August。 Eligible work hours between September and June are (up to) 670, while July to August is (up to) 300 hours。
