I have been selected for a study-abroad/exchange/dual-degree program in France for more than 90 days

I am an undergraduate or graduate student in the U.S who has been selected to study for one or two semesters in a partner university in France and I received an official acceptance letter

Campus France USA 101

All students who wish to study in France more than 90 days must follow the Campus France procedure before applying for a visa. Every year, we get many questions regarding the Campus France procedure. We are hoping this message cuts down on confusion and processing time for you and our office. Campus France’s process and the visa application process are distinct from each other. Please keep this in mind as it may be in your best interest to submit your Campus France application as soon as possible.

The 3 STEP Campus France USA process

STEP 1 I create my Etudes en France account and I submit my onlineapplication

STEP 2 I mail the required paperwork to Campus France USA

STEP 3 I receive the confirmation message from Campus FranceUSA and make an appointment with my assigned consulate
