This is the story of a student, Meryem by her secret first name, who dreamed of studying in Tours, France, where croissants fly in the wind and studies are sweeter than a macaron.

In a distant April 2021, Meryem receives a « congratulations » from her university in Tours, as if she had just won the higher education lottery. One problem though – the visa remains missing from her mailbox!
Meryem must juggle the fees, but not like traditional jugglers, with euros rather than balls. She manages to find a kind cousin in Ile-de-France who supports her financially… until an adorable baby and sofas change the game! Euros become as rare as an original emoji 
.
Next comes the hunt for accommodation. Fortunately, her cousin finds a landlord willing to rent remotely. This is where it gets interesting. Imagine doing a victory dance with a landlord via video, while playing a secret success song to the tune of Google!
But Zut Alors! The « Motif 2 »: « No money, no visa » – It’s like being denied access to an all-you-can-eat buffet to someone without a stomach. And even though Meryem has resources, the consulate wants solid proof. You know, as if she had to prove her bank account wasn’t an optical illusion!
That’s when the genius of the Internet appears! The famous Andrew founder of World like Home enters the scene, a true virtual hero. He builds a bridge of trust between Meryem, her cousin, and even her host family. He makes video calls, as if it were an online date – « Hey, Visa, want to go out with Meryem? »

After phone adventures worthy of a movie, Meryem finally discovers the magic key: a host family accommodation certificate in Tours! The visa is granted, and everyone starts dancing as if it were the last episode of « Dance with the Visas »!
And as in every good tale, here are Meryem’s lessons:
Lesson 1: Trust is built, even with a screen. If the Internet could connect Meryem with an apartment remotely, imagine what it can do for your online friendships!
Lesson 2: No need for a French guarantor for a visa! Algeria can do the job. It’s like visas have their own international toolbox.
Lesson 3: A visa refusal is not the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a better story! Meryem tried, failed, then persisted – like a true heroine.
And that’s how Meryem went from « Refusal: The Saga » to « Visa Accepted: The Triumphant Return »! Congratulations, Meryem, for overcoming all the obstacles! Next time someone tells you that obtaining a visa is impossible, just show them your juggling skills – with euros!
