FRANCE STUDENT VISA REQIREMENTS FOR NIGERIANS

France has always being one f the top choices since the 18s for Nigerian students seeking to study their dream course outside the borders of the country.

Coupled with the high standard of living and speedy rate of development in France, it may also interest you to know that the Universities at France offer one of the cheapest tuition fees in the world.

I also make that known when I wrote an article about the top most affordable countries for Nigerian students to study in.

Before I dive right into the business of the day I guess it will be fair to share with you some of the benefits of picking France as your place of study.

GREAT WEATHER

The weather in France is considered as one of the most moderate among the Europe powers. That should be of immense advantages if you are from Africa that is really hot.

GREAT SOCIAL LIFE

As a developed country, if you are someone that likes to party and have fun, I am a hundred percent sure you would enjoy studying in France

A FREE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE EUROPE

It may largely interest you to know that you do not need a Visa permit to travel from most part of Europe to the other and France being a major country in the continent of Europe gives you the free opportunity to explore Europe. All you may need is the cost of transportation which could either be via train transport or air.

So that being said, let us dive quickly into the requirements of obtaining a study Visa permit to Frace.

STUDY ADMISSION

With the advent of the internet, it is now important you seek and secure an admission into any recognized University in France before you can apply for a study Visa.

So you can get started by visiting the website of your desired school of study.

FINANCIAL SPONSORSHIP

As with all other countries and Visa application, you must be able to prove that you have the financial capability to back up your expenses while in diaspora

BIRTH CERTIFICATE

This is also very important while applying for any kind of Visa

WAEC CERTIFICATE OR A UNIVERSITY OR TERTIARY INSTITUTION TRANSCRIPT

This would show that you are a literate and ready for University education. I don’t really know what they use it for but what I know for a truth is that it is very important and they verify it’s validity before approving your visa application

ACCOMODATION CERTIFICATE

Just like your University admission letter, this will help them verify that you got an accommodation so that you do not become a burden to their Government

TRAVEL INSURANCE PACKAGE

You can easily get an acceptable six month travel insurance package for as low as thirty thousand naira from any recognized, international Insurance broker.

FLIGHT RESERVATION

In case you are a novice, a flight reservation is different from a travel flight booking. You should not book for a flight because the visa application is not always approved, instead make a reservation.

Contact your choice airline for more info.

ATTESTATION TO SPONSORSHIP

If you are not working or under a scholarship or sponsorship, you will need a proof in the form of legal paper work to that effect.
