Frequently asked questions
Can I work while studying?
Most student visas allow limited part-time work during term time. The exact hours depend on the current rules in France and on your course; we explain them on your call.
When should I apply?
As soon as you have your offer letter and your funds are ready. Popular intakes get busy, so starting three to four months before your course begins is sensible.
How long does the France Student Visa take?
Processing times change with the season and the workload at the embassy or immigration office. We give you a realistic, current timeline on your first call and track your case until the decision.
How much does Eurofly charge?
Your first call is €30 for 30 minutes. After that we quote a fixed package fee for the France Student Visa before you pay anything more. Government and embassy fees are separate.
Rules change often. This guide was last reviewed on September 26, 2026. Income thresholds, fees and document rules are set by the authorities and can change without notice; we confirm the current requirements on your call.
