Since 1 August 2026, the minimum resources required by France-Visas for a student visa have risen from €615 to €877.50 per month of stay.

What is changing

France-Visas has raised the minimum amount of resources a foreign student must prove. Your irrevocable transfer certificate must guarantee this minimum.

Who is affected

All student visa applications submitted since 1 August 2026. If your application was submitted before that date, the previous amount applies.

An amount that remains yours

This sum is not a fee: it is your money, held at Société Générale and then paid back to you every month in France.

What we do for you

Our team updates your file and tells you the exact amount to plan for, based on the length of your studies.
