Upon Arrival

Here are some important things you should remember to do once you arrive in France : 

- Registering at your university. 

- Registering and validating the VLS-TS visa. 

You must register and validate your visa within the first 3 months following your arrival in France on the following website https://administration-etrangers-en-france.interieur.gouv.fr/particuliers/#/ 

This quick and simple process will ensure that you are registered as a legal resident in France in order to complete your relocation. 

During the registration process, you will need to provide the following : 

• A valid email address.
• Your visa information.
• The date on which you entered France.
• Your home address in France.
• Your credit/debit card details in order to pay a fee online for the issuance of your residency permit.

If you fail to validate your visa within the 3 months following your arrival, you will no longer be considered a legal resident in France and will be unable to re-enter the Schengen area.
