Lagos

Which University in France or french country can someone apply to study french as a course?

Lagos process application very quickly, a friend applied on 1st June and got a rejection 12th. That's just 12 days processing time, but application that spends longer time processing is likely to be granted especially tourism, but still shouldn't be more than 1 month.

Not for France thou. Usually they will issue you visa close to date of your departure because they cannot release to you your visa for July very early

ogatboy:
Benin republic

I mean Oversea French country Not Africa

Well it's only France except you are looking for a degree program. Most times, French embassy will refer you to Benin republic

Well I went through campus France and vfs subsequently...no one raised any eyebrows. My prog told me to go ahead with visa applications. Wasn't aware of the 10weeks stuff!!! Also the prog stated on my award certificate I must be in France by August ending at d latest.

Hello all,

Thank you for all the input in this thread, it has been really helpful. Please I have a couple of questions concerning the student visa documents

1. I finally got my accommodation attestation after over a month of headache but now the actual documents states my name, the address of the residence, monthly rent and the date of the beginning of my tenancy (aug 15 2017). it doesn't however state the duration of the course as the visa checklist states. Is this going to be a problem?
2. If I do my preliminary interview at the CampusFrance Abuja office, do I still have to go through VFS?
3. Is the proof of payment of course fees compulsory? I checked the university's website and there is nowhere to pay fees.

Thank you in advance for all your help!!!
@whitetiger511 @ogatboy please help, thanks
