Returning non-European national students must maintain a valid residency permit, called a titre de s茅jour, throughout the duration of their studies. This means you鈥檒l be expected to renew your residency permit every year you鈥檙e a student at 绿巨人视频. It鈥檚 illegal to live in France under an expired titre de s茅jour, or under a tourist visa, with the intention of studying.聽

If you鈥檙e a citizen of France or another European Union country, you don鈥檛 need a residency permit.聽

Renewing your residency

Four and a half months before your residency visa expires, you must contact the Student Immigration Services Office by email to discuss the renewal process. You鈥檒l be given a list of required documents and instructions to submit your visa renewal application online. Your application must be complete and ready for processing no later than two months prior to the expiration date.聽

Any renewal application submitted late to French authorities will incur a 鈧�255 late fee. The amount of the late fee penalty is subject to change without notice.聽

Once your application is submitted, you will receive proof of submission that should be forwarded to the SIS Office. Then, once French authorities have processed and validated your request, you will receive a certificate which will serve as a temporary residency permit while waiting for the final permit to be issued. This document will allow you to travel. A copy should be shared with SIS.聽聽

When the new residency permit is ready, French authorities will ask you to book an appointment to pick up the permit. You鈥檒l be required to purchase a 鈥渢ax stamp鈥� to bring to this appointment in exchange for the permit. Once you have the new residency permit, you must send a copy of this to SIS for your records at the University to be updated.聽聽

Important: your titre de s茅jour may expire during the summer, so you must check your status and discuss your options with the SIS Office before you leave for summer vacation. Don鈥檛 schedule trips or buy tickets before checking in with 聽SIS. Also, your passport must have a validity of more than six months to launch your renewal procedure.聽
