Hello,
I have several questions. My guarantors earn well, but they have only given me the payslips (one in France and two from the country). Is that acceptable? Noting that I had a friend who managed with just that this year. I have a CROUS acceptance starting on 1st September and I want to go on the 28th to start with the procedures. Do I need to book hotels for those 2 days or is it not necessary?
Hello @Obokoss
Regarding your guarantors, it is indeed essential to have solid files to prove their financial capacity. Payslips are a good base, but it is also recommended to have a copy of the latest tax returns, recent bank statements, and employment contracts.
The fact that your friend obtained his visa with only the payslips does not prejudge your file, as they say, everyone has their own luck.

For your arrival in France before the start date of your CROUS accommodation, you do not necessarily need a reservation proof, you just need to use an explanatory letter to explain to the consulate that you wish to arrive early for X or Y reasons, and that you will stay in a hotel while waiting to take possession of your CROUS accommodation.
Where are you applying?
Best regards
For the guarantor I have:
-Pay slips from March to July
-Tax notice
-Tax declaration
-Identity documents
My desired arrival is 28 AUGUST
