France has announced the introduction of a deposit
requirement for non-EU student visa applicants, with potential reimbursement
alternatives available under certain conditions. In addition, an annual proof
of enrollment requirement is imposed.
These measures are intended to manage potential expenses for non-EU student visa holders by paying a variety of costs throughout their stay in France. The specifics of these measures have not yet been revealed.
The French government is enforcing annual evidence of
enrollment requirements for long-term permit holders to ensure
compliance and transparency regarding international students' enrollment
status. The money is refunded if you leave on time, renew your permission
successfully, or change your visa category. France is ranked sixth in the world
for hosting international students, with China, India, and Vietnam being the
top three origin nations. Failure to follow departure regulations will result
in the deposit being forfeited. The deposit is part of a bigger initiative to improve
student life in France.
With a 245% growth in the number of French students studying
abroad over the last five years, France has risen to the sixth-ranked country
of origin for international students. The 2021-2022 academic year saw an
unprecedented spike in international student enrollment, reaching 400,000 for
the first time in over 15 years. This growth is mostly due to a 21% increase in
European students choosing to study in France, as well as a 46% increase in
exchange students. Recent policy revisions demonstrate France's commitment to
regulating the influx of overseas students.
