      Visa

      If you are a non-EU citizen, you will need to apply for a visa at the Consulate of France (or Embassy of France or Visa Center) of your country of residence as soon as you are admitted to IUM.

      Monaco doesn’t have its own visa services; all applications go through the French consular authorities.

      Important: it may take a while to get an appointment, so this is an administrative procedure that you need to start taking care of as soon as possible. Our Student Services office will be happy to guide you through this process, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

      Which visa you apply for depends on the country where you decide to live.

      Look carefully at the housing offers before deciding which visa to go for.

      • If you choose to live in Monaco, you will need to apply for a Long stay Student visa.
      • If you choose to live in France, you will need to apply for a Long Stay Visitor Visa called VLS-TS type D visitor. This visa allows you to reside in France and study in Monaco.

      5 Steps

      • Check if you need a visa.
      • Before making an appointment with the French Consulate/Embassy, contact the Student Services office so we can give you all the information and supporting documents you will need.
      • Once you have talked to one of our student services officers, locate the closest Consulate/Embassy to make an appointment.
      • There will be several documents to bring to your appointment, which will be detailed during the visa application process.
      • Upon arrival, you will have 3 months to go to the immigration office (Office Français de l’Immigration et de l’Intégration – OFII) and get your passport stamped. We will help you with this step once you arrive at IUM.
