LIFE IN DIJON
Visas
European Union citizens
European Union citizens no longer need to apply for a residence permit (carte de séjour).
Non-European Union citizens
An entry visa may be required and you must contact your local French Embassy or Consulate well before leaving. Students should apply for a multiple-entry visa so as to re-enter the French territory several times if need be.
Some six-month student visas are granted so that no residence permit (carte de séjour) is necessary. In this case, the visa should read "DISPENSE DE CARTE DE SEJOUR". You are however advised to check with the appropriate authorities in Dijon that you conform with regulations regarding international students' visas and residence.
Documents needed for a residence permit upon arrival:
- Photocopy of a valid passport or ID card
- Proof of financial support: a signed document confirming that the student can support him/herself financially - at least 500 Euros a month
- Document confirming that the student is a resident in Dijon/ the Côte d'Or department
- Document certifying that the student is enrolled at Burgundy School of Business
- 2 recent black and white ID photos (size 3.5cm x 4.5 cm)
- A small stamped envelope
Once you have supplied these documents you will be contacted by the authorities who will ask you to pass a medical check-up.
Once your residence permit is ready to be issued you will be required to pay a fee of 55 Euros upon collection.
Help and guidance is available from the International Office at Burgundy School of Business.
