Afghan student accepted to a university in Paris – Do I need anything before the visa process if Afghanistan is not on Campus France?
Hi everyone,
I’m an Afghan girl and I’ve recently been accepted to a university in Paris, France.
While researching the student visa process, I checked the Campus France website and noticed that Afghanistan does not appear to be one of the countries covered by the Campus France procedure.
Since I already have my university acceptance, I’m trying to understand what the next steps are. Can I apply directly for a French student visa through the embassy/consulate, or is there another procedure similar to Campus France that students from non-Campus France countries must complete before applying for a visa?
If anyone has gone through this process or has experience with student visas for France from Afghanistan (or other non-Campus France countries), I would really appreciate your advice.
Also, if you know of any organizations, scholarships, or funding opportunities that support Afghan students—especially Afghan women—who want to pursue higher education abroad, I would be very grateful for any recommendations.
Thank you very much for your help.
