can I travel in and out of france for 6 mths with a student visa?
I'm not required to get a schengen visa for 90 days but wat about the rest of my stay? Can I still travel in and out of france? What if I want to visit non-Schengen countries? I hold a Singapore passport.

If you have a student visa for France valid for 6 months, then you can travel in and out of France during that 6 months without any problem. Whether you need a visa for your destination country or not after travelling out from France during that period, that's dependent on where you're going. As far as I know, Singaporean passport holders can go to any country within the Schengen zone without a visa for short stay anyway. Singapore nationals can also go to UK and Ireland (which are not part of Schengen travel agreement) and USA for short visits without visa. You can always check for visa requirements through this weblink (http://www.skyteam.com/about/travelhelp/travelinfo.html ) or through the relevant embassy/consulate webpages.

When you hold a student visa (type D) for France for six months you may travel to other Schengen countries for 90 days in a 180 day period on your Singapore passport. SInce your free weekends and holidays will not exceed 90 days I assume you are good to go. Concerning the non-Schengen countries you do not need a visa to travel to Andorra, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Liechtenstein, F.Y.R.o.Macedonia, Monaco, Montenegro, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Vatican City. For Albania you are authorized to travel for one month visa-free by paying an entrance fee of รข‚¬10.00 For Belarus, Moldova, Russia, and the Ukraine you will need a visa.
