Hello everyone, I have been admitted to the University of Lorraine and I have a few questions for which I would like answers regarding the visa application - if I have a lease contract where the rent is €400, will the deposit of €615/month be sufficient? - what is the right date to arrive in France as a student? - if for the lease contract I pay 1 month of rent and 1 month of deposit, is that sufficient for my housing section?
Welcome to our community @ABOU1
For a rent of 400 euros, you won’t have any issues with a deposit of 615 euros per month. Check out our article detailing the monthly expenses of a student in France, and how to reduce your expenses. Generally, to reserve accommodation in France, you need to pay the deposit and one month’s rent. So yes, it will be sufficient for the housing aspect.
There is no perfect date to arrive in France as a student. If the question refers to filling out the visa application form, you should plan for one to two weeks before the start date of the courses.
We hope we’ve answered your questions.
Good evening! I would like to know if Avicenter is a recognised centre for blocking a deposit for the visa; I would like to block my deposit at this centre and I would like to know if it is a centre recognised by the embassy for the deposit.
Hello @ABOU1
Yes, AVI Center is known for holding your deposit.
Which country are you in?
Kind regards.
Good evening! I would like to know how to justify the source of funds for the deposit. In fact, the person who will make the transfer is my father. He is here in Cameroon and he is a farmer, so he does not have a payslip, but he has all the documents showing that the plantations are in his name. I would like to know how he can justify the source of the funds.
I am in Cameroon
Good evening everyone I have a new concern and I would like your help. Indeed, my father is an entrepreneur; he owns titled lands, rental houses, and also several plantations. How can I justify the origin of these assets? He has so many documents, and it’s really overwhelming. I would like to know which specific documents I should include in my file to present to the consulate with. Thank you for providing your answers; they will help me.

Hello everyone! Please, regarding the accommodation certificate, must there be a relationship (brother, cousin…) between the host and the person being hosted?
For an accommodation certificate for a student visa, the embassy does not require familial ties. Only material conditions are to be considered.
[quote=« Esa_Community, post:1, topic:386 »] ## And what are the eligibility conditions to be a host?
Whether you are French or not, tenant or owner, you can provide an accommodation certificate. You just need to:
- Have accommodation with a rental contract or a title of ownership.
- If you are not French, have a residence permit valid for at least two months after the student’s planned arrival date.
Moreover, the size of the accommodation must meet certain standards (notably for obtaining social housing allowance): the living area must be at least 9 m2 for a single person, 16 m2 for two people (add 9 m2 per additional person). In reality, and for everyone’s comfort, we recommend 18 m2 for a single person, and +12 m2 per additional person (Housing occupancy index). [/quote]
Hello everyone I am going to submit my visa application with the free accommodation certificate for 1 year and I would like to get your opinion. I would like to know if providing a guarantee of €700/month will be detrimental to my application, since I already have free accommodation for my entire stay.
You can make a deposit even of 10,000 euros per month, if you have the means.
