3. Visa
Furthermore, the French government has developed Visas Wizard, a platform that will allow you to determine if you need a visa, what type of visa, the necessary documents, the correspondent fees, etc.
To complete your visa application, you will receive:
- a letter of acceptance to the University of Tours once your pre-registration file has been validated
- a certificate of acceptance of university housing by the CROUS (if you have applied for residential housing – /!\ for private dwellings, you must ask the owner directly for the certificate)
