Before you start: documents and information to gather

Before opening your request Studying in France, prepare everything in advance to avoid going back and forth. A good checklist saves you weeks.

Essential documents:

  • Passport (identity page, validity ≥ length of stay)
  • Degrees and transcripts (clear PDFs, all pages)

Prefer PDF for official documents; JPEG/PNG for ID photos.
