If you want to visit France you will need a Schengen visa valid for 25 European Union countries except Ireland, Great Britain, Bulgaria and Romania. Your F-1 student visa and I-94 is irrelevant to determine the visa requirement which is solely dependent on your citizenship. You may travel visa-free if you should be a citizen of any European Union country or of Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong Kong (SAR), Israel, Japan, Liechtenstein, Macao (SAR), Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, USA, Uruguay, Vatican City, and Venezuela. You will need a visa if you should hold a nationality of any other country. It may be applied at the French Embassy or Consulate of the country of which you hold citizenship or legal residency. If you are a short-term student with an authorized stay of less than 180 days you would have to apply for a visa from your home country. If you stay in the USA for longer you may apply at the France Embassy or the Consulate responsible for the state you are living in. Source(s): http://www.ambafrance-us.org/spip.php?article330
