Practical Information

EU students
EU students must have a valid passport or ID card. They no longer need a long-term student visa.

Non EU students
Before leaving, non-EU students need to obtain a long-term student visa (category D) at the French Embassy of their home country. Once in France, if their visa does not exceed 11 months, they are required to obtain a student temporary residence permit. It is valid for one year and is renewable. The International Department of ESC Lille can help them with their application for a temporary residence permit. More information is also available on the Egide and CampusFrance websites.
