Re-entering France after student visa expires...?
I just applied for a long-stay student visa... I got a feeling the French consulate would issue me a 4-month student visa according to the official duration of my exchange period... I am planning to travel across Europe after my exchange... That is, getting out of France and travel in other EU countries and Switzerland etc... After that, I have to get back to France to catch a flight home (i.e. I have gotten a two-way ticket)... Is it still possible to re-enter France --- my French student visa would have expired by then... In addition, any Singaporeans who have visited France for a student-exchange, do share your experience with me.... Thank you!!!!

You will get a Schengen visa which is valid for all EU countries except the UK and Ireland. This means that if you travel around Europe you will not cross any border checks or get any stamps in your passport. The Schengen visa is really an EU visa and so when it expires you must leave not just France, but the EU. Switzerland is outside the Schengen region but will join in 2008. There are passport checks on the French-Swiss border.

student visa from france - will this allow my illegal (in US) boyfriend back into US?
student visa from france - will this allow my illegal (in US) boyfriend back into US?
Thanks to the two people who answered my other question. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnQg8PZN.xjnbCpyEWpIAtnty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100405174644AAwNM75 My peruvian bf (illegal and asked to leave US) is voluntarily leaving the US to go to study in France. He is intending to get a French student visa and thinks this will get him back into the US by next winter. I did some research and there is such a thing as a long term visa in France for students (titre de sejour) which may grant a French residency permit. Would this allow him back into the US? I am skeptical and having a hard time believing that he'll be able to get back here legally. He went to high school here and went to college for 1 semester before his visa ran out and he got caught. Everything I"m researching doesn't make sense - are there loopholes that he can get around to come back? Thanks.

NO.

The short answer is No. After he leaves US and to come back, he has to apply US Visitors visa. However, even he gets French Residency permit or even he becomes French citizen, he will have extremely hard time getting his US visa approved due to his record of being out of status and voluntarily deported in US. There is no loopholes. He played that one before and now he is getting deported. It is unfortunate but he better forget about getting back to US, which is reality.

you say he got caught. does that mean he was deported? if so, he would be ineligible for any visa for 10 years. he would also be ineligible for any visa based on living in the US illegally, how long would depend on how old he was when he left, even if he wasn't legally deported. while it is sometimes possible to apply for a waiver on a tourist visa application, someone would have to consider him eligible for a tourist visa first, and I can't see that happening any time soon. so, just being a student in France won't make any difference.

I need help and advice!!! I'm an American student who wants to go to France for a month...?
I need help and advice!!! I'm an American student who wants to go to France for a month...?
I travelled Europe last summer and this summer I have decided that I would like to go to France for a month in August. However, I really would appreciate some advice and opinions on the best way to go about it. I would ideally like to be in Paris. I want to go and possibly do some sort of internship or volunteer/mission program. If you have any information that you could provide me with that would be fabulous! Thank you.

August is the worst month to visit Paris, as most of the locals head off to the beach for their summer holidays. If you can, I would suggest waiting until September.
2 :
Paris is indeed deserted by many French people in August since it is the period when many firms close down for the annual summer holiday, retaining just a skeleton staff. You will not find an internship at that time of the year.There are very few openings for volunteer programmes and those that exist are not in Paris but as labourers or pickers on ecologically friendly farms in the depths of the countryside. If you are happy to go that way here is the website: http://www.wwoof.fr/eng/index.htm Bear in mind that as a non-European you are not allowed to seek paid employment. Another alternative would be to try to find an Au Pair job in Paris looking after the children of a family that is not going away and would need to have someone to look after their children, though they may find a month too short: the summer holidays for schools are from the end of June to the start of September. You would have to find an agency near where you live. Good Luck!
