Visa

All foreign nationals wishing to enter France must be able to present regulatory evidence of the reason for their trip as well as accommodation arrangements when they arrive in the country.

In some cases, a visa is essential. It must be obtained from the French Bureau of Consular Affairs before leaving. If you wish to stay for over 3 months and you are not a member of the European Community then you must request a long stay visa (or "long term student visa").

Minors travelling alone must have an "Authorisation to leave the country" which has been signed by the parents.
