Visa
Depending on your nationality and your study destination for semester 1, there will be different ways to proceed for your visa application.
Whether you study in France or Spain for the first semester, you have to apply for a long stay visa covering the length of your stay (1 or 2 semesters).
Which consulate is competent?
- If France is your destination for the 1st semester: apply at the French consulate in your country of residence.If there is a Centre CAmpus France in your country of origin, then you will use their procedure
- If Spain is your destination for the 1st semester: apply at the Spanish consulate/ embassy in your country of residence.
The coordinating institution and the host university will send you all the necessary letters to join to your visa application.
Please note that those who apply for a Spanish visa must ensure that they mention at the time of application that they will enter first via France and stay for about 2 weeks. This is absolutely essential as you must attend the induction period in Saint-Etienne.
That way, you will avoid having to apply for a short-stay (Shenghen tourist visa) visa for France.
Please plan ahead your visa application and allow a minimum of three months for the visa to be granted. Therefore you must deposit your application at the relevant consulate or embassy the latest on the 1st of June for an arrival at the beginning of September , but bear in mind that Consulates often are short-staffed during the month of August (holiday period).
Therefore, we strongly advise you to deposit your visa application at the beginning of May .
To obtain a visa, you need the following documents:
- A valid passport with a validity covering the whole duration of the CIMET programme with an extra six month
- A letter of admission or acceptance or Pre-registration
- An invitation letter for the induction week for those who applying for a Spanish visa.
- A certificate from the EACEA with the list of Erasmus Mundus scholarship holders. This will be requested by the consulate to prove your financial means.
- A proof of minimum financial means: a minimum of 615€ per month for France for example(living cost). If you are an Erasmus Mundus scholarship holder, you will have to produce the EACEA certificate and list mentioned above.
- For self-sponsored students or consortium scholarship holders: the proof of sufficient financial means must cover tuition fees as well as travel and living costs.What the laws says in France: "The non-scholarship students of the French Government, foreign governments, international organizations, non-profit and European community programs must prove that they have adequate means of support (or 615 euros per month), corresponding to 100% of the monthly basic maintenance paid by the French Government to selected scholarship foreign students" (reference: Article 36 of Decree No. 2011-1049 of 6 September 2011 modifying Article 14 of Decree No. 99-352 of 5 May 1999).
- A proof of your accommodation (after your confirmation of reservation, a certificate of your accommodation will be sent to you by email).
- Vaccines/ Injections (in some cases, the consulate can ask you for a proof of vaccination (yellow fever, cholera…)
