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.
