Yes, long stay national visa (type D) are in general issued for multiple-entries, unless the visa holder is required to apply for a residence permit (Carte de sejour temporaire) immediately after arrival in France. One key-point of the Schengen agreement is that holders of a long-stay visa or a residence permit issued by one Schengen country can freely travel to the other Schengen countries for up to 90 days per semester..

If my boyfriend is student in France, and I buy him a Eurailpass before I get there, is he allowed to use it?

My bf will only be in France for 6mo. I read that residents of the EU can't use the pass and that they check your passport before you can use it. He's not exactly a resident, if they see a French visa in his passport is it still acceptable for him to use it?

if he is traveling with you, and you are the person holding the tickets, the person asking for the tickets are not reviewing all the passports, unless you are suspicious. they ask how many traveling and take a look at the person and that about it. good luck..:>

According to the Eurail FAQ ( http://eurail.lwb-online.info/index.php?view=cms_752 ) on the official website ( http://www.eurail.com ), the ticket is not valid for anybody who "has lived" in Europe for more than 6 months. So, in the case of your boyfriend who "plans" to stay in Europe for 6 months, he should be able to buy and use it. On the other hand, if he could reasonably claim that he is an European resident (for 6 months or more), he could take advantage of other offers, namely Interrail ( http://www.interrailnet.com/ ) and Eurodomino ( http://www.eurodomino.co.uk/ ) which are normally more advantageous than Eurail. Among others, they allow selection of a limited number of countries (even a single one, but never the country of residence), flexible days (e.g., 3 - 8 days within a month for Eurodomino) and second class travel, which both may contribute to significant savings. So, I would recommend you to enquire about the offers for European residents first and only select Eurail if Interrail and Eurodomino do not apply.

How do I obtain a student visa for France?
How do I obtain a student visa for France?
I am applying to study in France for one semester and I am trying to submit a visa application through the LA consulate of the french embassy and I am having trouble figuring out some details (address to send application materials, getting lodging certificate, "financial guarantee" details, etc.) Any input from anyone with experience in this application process would be greatly appreciated, especially since the consulate will not take visa inquiries over the phone and i don not live anywhere near LA. Thank you!

The embassador has all the information you need.Call them 5 times a day if you need to.It's their job.It is not pleasant,been there.The American embassy in Frankfurt was the same way,but I think they just want to see how bad you want the visa and study in France.Don't worry,you will get it.There are just dicks.

I think the credits might be transferable internationally! But you might want to ask your school counselor! I would think it works just like if you were moving from a different state, but i'm not sure!
2 :
Yes you will be because my friend just came from China and he is behind credits. He is repeating some of the classes that are needed to graduate. Unless you bribe your school and they pass you lol. Or maybe you live in a different state. I live in Cali so thats how things are around here. Good Luck.=]

Depends what passport you have. If you travelling on a US passport for instance, you're entitled to stay in France for 90 days out of every 180 days without a visa. If your student visa kicks in before the 90 days is over, then you will probably be OK, just don't overstay the 90 days. It would be best to check all this with the French Embassy in your country.

You don't need a visa to visit Switzerland for up to 90 days within a six months period. Holders of long-stay visa (type D) or residence permits of one Schengen country can travel to all other countries of the Schengen agreement. Both France and Switzerland are Schengen members. The following type of French residence permits qualify for visiting Switzerland. - Carte de séjour temporaire comportant une mention particulière qui varie selon le motif du séjour autorisé (Temporary residence permit bearing specific wording which varies according to the reasons for the authorised stay); - Carte de séjour portant la mention "compétences et talents" (Residence permit bearing the words ''skills and expertise''); - Carte de séjour portant la mention "retraité" (Residence permit bearing the word ''retired''); - Carte de résident (Resident's card); - Carte de résident portant la mention "résident de longue durée-CE" (Resident's card bearing the words ''long-term EC resident''); - Carte de résident délivrée aux ressortissants andorrans (Resident's card issued to Andorran nationals); - Certificat de résidence d'Algérien (Residence certificate for Algerian nationals); - Carte de séjour délivrée aux membres de famille (les membres de famille peuvent être des ressortissants de pays tiers) des citoyens de l'Union européenne, des ressortissants des États parties à l'Espace économique européen et des ressortissants suisses (Residence permit issued to family members (family members can also be third-country nationals) of citizens of the EU and nationals of the EEA/Switzerland); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour portant la mention "volontariat associatif" (Temporary authorisation to stay bearing the words ''Voluntary community service''); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour portant la mention "étudiant en recherche d’emploi" (Temporary authorisation to stay bearing the words ''Student looking for employment''); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour portant la mention "parent accompagnant d’un mineur étranger malade" (Temporary authorisation to stay bearing the words ''Parent accompanying sick alien who is a minor''); - Autorisation provisoire de séjour ne portant pas de mention spécifique (Temporary autorisation to stay bearing no specific wording); - Récépissés de renouvellement de demande de titre de séjour, accompagnés du titre de séjour périmé (Receipt for a renewed application for a resident permit, together with the expired residence permit). The internal borders between Schengen countries are open, no governmental immigration controls will be performed on flights or when crossing the land border between the two countries. Although Switzerland is a Schengen member it does not participate in the European Economic Area (Customs Union), hence controls by customs officers may still be performed on entry.
