You have a residence permit or a long-stay visa marked "student" ?
The renewal application for a "student" residence permit must be made on the official website "Administration Étrangers en France" (ANEF), between 2 and 4 months before the expiry date of the residence permit/visa.
- 1. Build your application

- 3. Validation of your application
-
After submitting your documents, a confirmation of digital submission (attestation de dépôt) will be sent to you by e-mail. If your file is not complete, you can complete it by connecting to your ANEF account.
- 4. Favourable decision
-
Once the application has been processed and validated by the Préfecture, you will receive an attestation called "attestation de prolongation d'instruction d'une demande de titre de séjour " on your ANEF personal account. This certificate is the equivalent of the receipt (récépissé) that was previously issued by the Prefecture. This attestation allows you to work (as many hours as your "student" residence permit) and travel out of France.
- 5. Residence permit withdrawal
- When your card is ready, you will receive a message from the Préfecture, asking you to collect it and pay the tax there.
