Visa for PhD in France
Revision as of 15:07, 17 November 2013 by Arjun (talk | contribs)

PhD candidates in France are eligible for 2 types of VISA- Scientific as well as Student. They both have their advantages:

Scientific Visa

  • Requires Convention d'Accueil from the host organization
  • Spouse of the candidate will be given a scientific dependent visa entitling him/her to work in France till the end of the PhD contract
  • Visa is free if contract is from some National Research Organizations
  • Tax Benefits for 2 years. Please see Taxes in France

Student Visa

  • Allowed to stay back in France for 6 months after the end of study
  • Can drive in France for the entire duration of study with foreign driving licence (for all other type of visas, the period of driving is only 1 year)
  • In many countries to get student visa, application should be through campus france

Overall if driving is not your objective, scientific visa is better. Because you'll be getting a student card and with that get most other benefits of students like student residence.
