Going through the French paperwork to get a VISA for my Filipino gf

Hi,

You have to get close to Tlscontact in Philippines. Your visa application must go thru them and they pass it to the french embassy.

Bear in mind that Philippines is on the poor asian countries list which requires strong garanties to get a visa for France or schengen and there are a lot of denied application.

Of course if you marry, that changes all.

Thank you Keyser. I've never heard of Tlscontact so far.

We are also looking into the possibility of asking for a student Visa, https://www.campusfrance.org/en seems to be a good resource with potential scholarships, or general guidance in the process. I don't know if asking for a student Visa would be easier, she already have a psychology degree but she won't go far in France with that so we're looking into studies related (or not) to psychology she could do here.

If you have any advice/feedback about that, we'd be glad to hear it. Thanks!

If i’m not mistaken a friend of mine enrolled into a French as a foreign language (FLE) school to get her first student visa (i think it has a limit of 1-2 years though). She then looked for other work or study opportunities once in France, having to change the visa type each time, and has been living here for close to 5 years now
