Validate your VLS-TS Long Stay Visa
If you have a VLS-TS Long Stay Visa, you must validate it as soon as you arrive in France. The procedure is dematerialized on the website of the Ministry of the Interior.
Bank account
If you need advice on opening a bank account, we can direct you to institutions that are used to working with international students.
Civil Liability Insurance
You must take out civil liability insurance. This insurance covers unintentional damage. It is used to repair material or physical damage to third parties. It compensates the victim, in your place, for the damage.
This insurance may be automatically purchased when you open your bank account or included in your home insurance. In this case, check that you are insured under all circumstances. Indeed, some insurances, especially those included in the home insurance, only cover the damage you could cause in your home.
