Congratulations! Find here everything you need to do and plan, step by step, to properly prepare your arrival in France.
To prepare before your departure to France
As soon as possible before your arrival in France
Before your arrival in France, start looking for accommodation as soon as possible. You can take a certain number of steps remotely. If you plan to look for accommodation once you arrive in France, think about booking temporary accommodation while you find a permanent one.
One month before departure
Anticipate the steps to obtain your visa at least one month before your arrival in France. Think about your budget and check that your bank card will allow you to withdraw money upon your arrival in France. If not, plan for cash. You will be able to open a bank account in France later.
One week before departure
Inform your host institution and your potential landlord of your arrival. Pack your bags by planning clothes suitable for all types of weather. Finally, prepare the necessary documents for your trip and installation, namely:
Identity documents: identity card; passport; birth certificate (translation and certified copy); driver's license (if you intend to drive in France).
Documents related to your studies in France: certificate of enrollment in your institution; language level certificate(s) (French, English, etc.); previous diplomas (translation and certified copy).
