Imagine, a Beninese student, Mr. X, accepted into the second year of a law degree at the University of Lille, with a rock-solid guarantee: a French aunt, a family member of sorts, living in France for ages and earning a monthly salary of 2770 euros. You might think, « It’s a done deal! » Well, think again, because France is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get!
Everything seemed perfect, except our dear Mr. X faced an unexpected obstacle: the reason 2 for visa refusal. Yes, you read that right, reason 2! He was politely told: « You have not proven that you have the means to support yourself in France, or you are not able to obtain them legally. » In other words, France had doubts about the solvency of the guarantee. Who would have thought that earning 2770 euros a month wouldn’t be enough to convince the French authorities?
And that’s why the Sylver Private Pass is your ultimate asset to clarify your most thorny questions. It’s like having a Visa expert on speed dial. So, if you want to clear your doubts and avoid bizarre Visa refusals, don’t hesitate. Who knows, it could be your golden ticket to France!
And now, the question everyone is asking is: did the embassy make a mistake? Apparently not, because after checking the guarantor’s accounts, it turned out she had barely 350 euros left at the end of the month after her expenses. You might think the embassy should anticipate the aunt’s savings for her nephew’s arrival, but no, France doesn’t work like that!
But our hero didn’t let himself be defeated. He decided to try his luck again by providing an AVI (Attestation de Virement Irrévocable) of 615 euros per month for 12 months, in addition to his accommodation certificate. After a stressful 15-day wait, he finally got his visa. France said « Yes »!
This story teaches us several important lessons. First, never give up, even after a visa refusal. Next, girls can host boys, and even those in shared accommodation can be kind hosts. Students can host other students, provided the room size meets the minimum of 18 m². Finally, and perhaps the most crucial lesson, don’t rely solely on someone’s salary to choose them as a guarantor. Also, check if they can keep a minimum of 615 euros per month for full support, or at least 350 euros for partial support.
But wait a second! You don’t want to miss the crucial details to succeed in your own student adventure in France. For even more personalised answers, explore our Preliminary Analysis Private Pass to uncover all the mysteries of the process.
Everything is possible, even getting your Visa for France. Good luck to him and all future students dreaming of studying abroad!
