Upon my arrival in France, which administrative steps do I need to follow to validate my visa?

Only those with a Long-stay visa - Titre de séjour (VLS-TS) are required to validate their visa on arrival in France. You must validate your visa no later than 3 months after your arrival in France.

You can find all the information and procedures on France Campus :

If you are an Algerian passport holder, the process is different. Please contact us.
