VISALE, an acronym for “Visa for Housing and Employment”, is a French government initiative that aims to solve problems of access to housing for young people by offering a free rent guarantee. In other words, VISALE acts as a rental deposit to help renters meet the security requirements requested by landlords.
If you are an international student who wants to obtain VISALE from your country of origin, here are the important eligibility criteria to consider:
● It is only intended for young people aged 18 to 30, whether they are students or employees, French or foreign, in International Mobility or not.
● Be a foreign student with a student visa or a student residence permit valid for the coming academic year.
● Justify your enrollment in a university in France for the current school year.
● It is mandatory to provide proof of identity.
No nationality requirements are required, Visale is accessible to all major foreign students in good standing with their status on French territory. All you have to do is create a file and file it with Action Logement.
Obtaining the Visale guarantee is a completely dematerialized and free process. Here's how you can benefit from VISALE in a few simple steps:

As a foreign student looking for accommodation in France, the VISALE initiative has several significant advantages that can facilitate your transition to a new environment. Here's how VISALE can benefit you:
Once your visa application is approved by Action Logement, you get a reliable guarantor that eliminates the need to find another guarantor or provide an additional bond. This approach greatly simplifies the housing search process, providing you with a convenient and hassle-free solution.
VISALE greatly simplifies your access to housing. By offering a rental guarantee, it strengthens your application file and increases your autonomy in the rental process. This allows you to broaden your housing options by searching through a wider range of available properties.
For owners, VISALE represents a guarantee that reassures them. Your landlord can be assured that the rent will be paid regularly throughout the rental period. This helps to establish a climate of trust between you and the owner, promoting a harmonious rental experience.
In the event of unpaid rent, VISALE offers you a personalized treatment for the reimbursement of your debts via your tenant area. This continuous assistance allows you to manage any delicate financial situation more calmly, while maintaining your rights as a tenant.
By providing a free rent guarantee, it facilitates access to housing in France, thus helping to alleviate the financial constraints that students may face. If you are a foreign student looking for accommodation in France, VISALE could well be the platform that facilitates your transition to a new home.
