No, you'll need a Shengen visa anyway. Contact the French embassy in London and apply for one.

no you may not enter France without a visa , even if you are in the UK as a student .... go to the french embassy in London to obtain one : You need a schengen visa to go to France even as the holder of a british residency > Do you need a visa issued by the French Authorities? On account of your nationality, the minimum delay to obtain the visa will be of: the day of your application. Allow a few hours for the processing of your application. Your visa application may be lodged by a representative. 2 weeks for a postal application. Please note that those waiting times are given as general guidelines and that actual waiting times may vary. NB : As the holder of a ’C-Visit’ visa or of a British visa valid for 6 months or less, be advised that they may be a delay of a few weeks for the processing of your application. You will need to apply for your visa in person and will inevitably need to produce, on addition to the usual supporting documents, your confirmed return ticket back to your country of residence, a proof of financial means of support (travellers’ checks) and a self-addressed stamped enveloppe to be informed of the outcome of your visa application. You will also be expected to provide photocopies of your travel document. here is the home page of the french embassy in London : http://www.consulfrance-londres.org/article.php3?id_article=360 here is the address : French Consulate general, Visa Department, 6A Cromwell Place London SW7 2EW

An Indian student with a UK visa cannot use it to travel to France. Instead, he has to apply for a visa to enter France.

Some notes on visas for France and other Schengen countries : Schengen Visa Schengen Zone The Schengen Agreement was originally signed in 1985, but was not implemented until 10 years later in 1995. It removed the need for border control posts, allowing easy access between countries that are part of the agreement. This is a list of countries participating in the Schengen Agreement: Austria Belgium Czech Republic Denmark Estonia Finland France Germany Greece Hungary Iceland Italy Latvia Lithuania Luxembourg Malta Netherlands Norway Poland Portugal Slovakia Slovenia Spain Sweden Switzerland Visa types The countries in the Schengen agreement have a uniform visa regime that distinguishes 4 main types of visa. In addition, specific types exist for special groups (notably, refugees and diplomats), but these are not relevant to regular travellers. Transit visa (A and B visa) Transit visa are required for non-exempt third-country nationals passing through the Schengen area. Both visa have a maximum validity of 120 hours. The holder of an A-type visa is not allowed to leave the airport transit area. The holder of a B-type visa is allowed to use overland transport for transiting purposes. The visa may be subject to routing restrictions. Short stay visa (C visa) Short stay visa are required for non-exempt third-country nationals. The same rules apply to those who are exempt from visa application; they just do not need to apply in advance, but are granted the visa (in the form of an entry stamp) upon arrival. The holder of a C-type visa is allowed to stay in the Schengen area for maximally 90 days in a 180 days period. This means you can stay in the Schengen area for at most 90 days, then leave for 91 days, then come back, etc. YOU CANNOT RENEW YOUR VISA / VISA WAIVOR BY EXITING AND RE-ENTERING IN LESS THAN 91 DAYS C-type visa can be single-entry or multiple-entry.

This seems to depend on the issuing authority; make inquiries prior to booking flights etc. C-type visa are not extendable beyond the 90-days-within-180-days limit. Additional restrictions may be set by individual countries party to the agreement, especially concerning purpose of visit, financial means, antecedents, ailments, etc. The holder of a C-type visa has to comply with the additional requirements of each country s/he wants to enter.

The holder of a D-type visa is not allowed to travel around the Schengen area. Note that third-country nationals exempt from visa requirements can travel outside the country they hold a D-type visa for, but for maximally 90 days in a 180 days period. Combination visa (C+D) Combination visa are meant to give the holder of a D-type visa the possibility of moving through the Schengen area. Both parts are subject to the regulations described above. When the validity of the C-part starts, seems to depend on national regulations of the state issuing the D-part.

I've done some research and found out that as a Taiwanese student studying in Seattle, i'll need a visa if i plan to visit my friend in Paris. The problem is that the nearest consulate is in San Francisco. Is there any way for me to apply for a french visa without heading to San Fran? Thanks a million!

Nope. The new requirement for biometric information makes a personal visit mandatory.
