Do I need Campus France approval for a French student visa?
Most long-stay student applicants must complete the Campus France 'Études en France' procedure first. The checklist adds Campus France validation and checks your enrolment details are consistent across documents.
What insurance is required for a France Schengen visa?
You need travel medical insurance with at least €30,000 of cover valid throughout the Schengen Area. The checker reads the policy and flags cover or dates that fall short.
Can it check a French long-stay (VLS-TS) visa file?
Yes. It loads the long-stay student rule set and validates your funds, accommodation and Campus France evidence against the VLS-TS requirements before you submit.
