You'll need to provide the standard documents required for a student residence permit renewal application: passport (with a valid visa), current residence permit, proof of enrollment at your school, proof of address less than 3 months old, passport photos, etc.

You'll also need to prove your financial resources for the coming year. Studely simplifies this process by providing you with the required balance sheet, and our advisors will advise you on the specific documents you need based on your personal situation.

Absolutely. Administrative and legal support is included at no additional cost for all students who have subscribed to the Studely balance certificate.

In other words, for €350 you benefit not only from the financial certificate, but also from all the advice and actions of our experts to secure your residence permit - no surprises on the bill, it's all-inclusive.

If the prefecture is slow to respond or doesn't respond, Studely won't leave you alone in the uncertainty. We provide free legal assistance: online consultation with a partner lawyer, sending an official reminder letter to the prefecture, and handling any administrative appeals.

Your file won't be forgotten; we ensure that the authorities process your request as quickly as possible.

Don't worry: before any official submission, our specialists will thoroughly review your application. If any documents are missing or incomplete, we'll notify you immediately and help you obtain them.

You'll receive a clear list of documents to add and our advice on how to gather them. The goal: a 100% complete and compliant application, the first time.

Once your application is completed and your funds are deposited into Studely's secure account, the balance certificate is generally issued within 24 to 48 hours.

We know that deadlines are important, so you'll quickly receive this essential financial document for your stay extension application.

If your renewal is denied by the prefecture (which is rare with a well-prepared application), Studely will remain by your side until the end. Our legal experts will take the necessary steps to defend your case: an appeal to the prefecture, or a legal appeal before the administrative courts if appropriate.

Although the final decision rests with the administration, you will have put all the odds in your favor thanks to a solid application and the support of professionals. Whatever happens, you don't face this ordeal alone—we support you in exploring the remaining options or preparing possible alternatives.

Yes. The funds you deposit through Studely to obtain the certificate are not blocked. Once the certificate is issued, you retain complete flexibility: you can withdraw or use your money at any time according to your needs.

Studely acts as a temporary guarantor with the prefecture, but your money remains yours, available whenever you need it again.

Payment of the €350 is made securely when you sign up for our balance certificate. As soon as you schedule your appointment, we'll guide you step by step: creating your Studely account, choosing the residence permit renewal option.

You'll receive confirmation as soon as your application is approved and can then deposit the funds for the certificate according to our instructions (SEPA transfer, local deposit, etc., depending on your country of origin).
