Hello friends Welcome to our channel so today’s video is going to be about Visa renewal process this video is for students who have already been living in France for their visa tenure and now they have to renew their visa if you are here for applying for Visa or validating
It we even have those videos on the channel and you can check in the description for those videos so what’s going to be covered in this video we are going to start with documentation require the process the appointment booking and finally the payment you can jump
Directly to the sections and time SS are mentioned below don’t forget to check out our socials on Instagram and Facebook where you can find the latest updates about our videos and what’s happening in our daily life so there are some things that you need to take care
Of before getting into the whole process you must start the procedure between 120 and 60 days before the expiry date of your present Visa you need to submit your application ation as soon as possible since prefectures do not access your file until 3 months after the online submission of your file otherwise
If the application has been filed less than 60 days before the expiry date and up to 6 months after the expiry date you’ll be incurred a fine of €180 and while applying for Visa if it has already been more than 6 months after the expiry date you will have to apply
For a new visa from your country of origin I’m sure you would not like that to happen so an important note in case if you are looking forward to apply for an internship or it’s compulsory as a part of your program to carry out an internship without a valid Visa
Residence permit you’ll not be able to sign up an internship contract moreover your internship may also be interrupted if your Visa or residence permit is not renewed in time we also want to mention thatf is the platform which is dedicated to the application of renewal of residence permit in case if you have
Validated your Visa online and I’m sure that you already did last year maybe you already have ANF account and you need to use those credentials to log to your account now let’s jump into the first section of this video which is going to be about documents required so let’s
Talk about the first document it’s the vsts validation certificate which is also called op certificate which you might have done within 3 months of your Landing in the country the second document would be your passport details which would be your front and back information page in your passport along
With your current Visa that you’re having and also the Visa immigration entry stamps you need to merge all this into a single document and then upload it you also need an e photo clicked and you can easily do that by going to a kf4 or toac so once you get this picture
Clicked you need to upload the E photo number on the website next would be the house contract lease which shouldn’t be older than 6 months as as well as rent slips for the last 3 months you submit this by merging both these documents into a single file and then uploading it
Online also if you’re being hosted by someone else you would need a certificate from the host dated and signed by them along with their national identity card or their residence permit and the next document is college enrollment certificate which is also called certificate the schag you need
The certificate for the next session for example if you’re in 2024 and you need to carry out your studies for the next year you need this scholar for the next session uh this is usually provided by your University and in order to get it from your University you need to submit
Your Civic certificate in case you’re looking for how to apply for civic we also have a video on our Channel you can check the link in description so in case you do not have this certificate the schag or college enrollment certificate you need to submit a late submission
Request doc so why do we need to submit it since most students don’t usually have their New Year enrollment certificate or any other documentation in their case while applying for a Visa renewal what you could do is you could attach this document which would look
Like this as you can see on your screen and this is pretty much self-explanatory you need to mention your name your address the date which you are applying and your college name your availability expected availability from the University and attach your signature here so the next document would be the
Transcri scripts of your last semesters from your University so let’s talk about one of the most important documentation required which is funds so in order to show your funds you need to show monthly living cost multiplied by 12 so in case if you don’t have the money by yourself
And if your sponsor is funding you you would need an Affidavit of Support this Affidavit of Support would be 20 rupees affidavit where first party would be the sponsor and the second party would be Consulate General def F so if you are a viewer who has been with us since the
Beginning beginning you might notice that this is the similar format which we used while applying for visa for France so this is again pretty much self-explanatory you need to write it for consulate journal the France you need to enter your sponsor name their age their if you have a second sponsor
You need to mention their details here enter your passport number your uh course name Etc as well as it should contain the expenses part such as the living cost in your city multiplied by 12 in this case we are taking 615 multiplied by 12 which comes out to 7380
You need to mention the present conversion rate next you need to also mention the total available funds in euros and in INR we are showing here through a small table all the saving account details as well as if you have some fds you can enter the details here
Such as the account number the principal amount the name of the account holder and the bank address in the end it should be verified signed notorized and and uh there should be sign of both of your sponsors if there are two and uh if there’s only one you could continue with
Just one you need to keep in mind that you only require this Affidavit of Support if you don’t have enough money in your French account and in case if you already have the required money in your French account you don’t need this Affidavit of Support we would also like
To warn you that sometimes this Affidavit of Support doesn’t work because sometimes prefecture would not approve it and as a result he would need to transfer all your money to the French bank account number to show your living cost if the transfer is made every month
To your account and there is a past history of money coming to your French account from your parents or your sponsors it becomes easier for the prefecture to approve your case as well so let’s talk about the supporting documents required for affidavit so along with affidavit you would be
Attaching the latest bank account statements for the last 3 months showing sufficient funds attested by Bank Authorities with stemp on each page and in case of fds you would need to attach the FD documents signed and attested by your bank next you would also need the identity documents of your sponsors in
Case they have a passport you can attach the passport otherwise the national identity such as Adar card could be used now let’s talk about the second case in which the funds are in your French bank account so in this case you need to show an attestation from your French bank
Account in which your name should be clearly mentioned and the funds which are there in that account should be clearly mentioned as well this part is not compulsory but you could also attach your last 6 months bank statement of your French bank account with this what
We would like to suggest is that you can merge all these documents together such as if some of your funds are in India with your parents or your sponsor some of the funds are in France you need to merge all these documents together such as the attestation the Affidavit of
Support the supporting documents for the Affidavit of Support such as your bank account uh statements as well as the F documentations and also the identity now this case is for some of you lucky students coming out to France the ones who have got the scholarship so if you
Are a scholarship holder from the country of origin you need a certificate of scholarship from the paying organization in your country of origin otherwise if you are a French government scholarship holder you need to add a justification of this situation as well another part would be if someone is a
Salaried employee so if you’re a salaried employee and if you want to show your living cost with your salary you can show your last 3 months pay slip in order to ensure that you can cover your living expenses for the next year so our another recommendation to you
Would be that please don’t believe in heay for example you are pursuing your M and you’ve already completed your first year and now you’re going to enter your second year or if you are pursuing a course which is more than one year there would be some people who would suggest
Suggest to you that you should also show the next year tuition fee as well my friends this is not true at all what you only need to do is show your living cost for the next year remember to contact your school and the official ANF website
For checking on any updates as these are the most reliable source of course after us I’m sorry we are kidding so these were the documents which were compulsory to submit but in some cases there could be some documents which can be asked from you and it highly varies according
To the prefecture of your region and on case toase based scenario so first of all they could ask you a birth certificate translated and apostile there could also be a case where your Indian documents could be asked by your prefecture to be translated into French yes that’s possible this was a case
Which happened with one of our friend and he was asked for providing all the Indian documentation such as Affidavit of Support and the bank statements in in French and when he asked from the translators on how much it could cost it was around 25,000 Indian rupees can you
Believe that so this could also happen with some of you and we would pray that this doesn’t happens with you and finally you might also need to submit your certificate The Scholar or enrollment certificate or there could be any other missing documentation which you haven’t submitted earlier to the
Authorities so this is the end of the documentation part and let’s jump straight right into the proc process sh over to you as you can see on the screen right now that we are on thef official website you can go into the description and enter that link into
