France Study Visa Consultants in Pakistan

France is Europe’s third most popular destination for international students and home to HEC Paris, Sciences Po, École Polytechnique, INSEAD, and Sorbonne University — institutions that lead the world in business, engineering, fashion, and the arts. Public universities charge just €2,770/year for Bachelor’s and €3,770/year for Master’s (non-EU rates set by the French government), making France one of the most affordable premium-quality destinations in Europe. TheUniGrad helps students from across Pakistan navigate the Études en France (EEF) Campus France procedure — the mandatory pre-consular step — followed by the long-stay student visa (VLS-TS) at the French Embassy in Islamabad. From CEF interview prep and SOP drafting to OFII registration on arrival, our team handles every step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Not necessarily. France offers 1,700+ English-taught programs, especially at Grandes Écoles and Master's level. For French-taught programs you need DELF/DALF B2 or TCF B2. We help you pick programs matching your language profile.

EEF is the mandatory online platform all Pakistani students must use to apply to French institutions. You create a file, pay the €99 Campus France fee, attend a CEF interview at Campus France Islamabad, then your file is forwarded to universities and the consulate.

After your CEF interview and university acceptance, the VLS-TS long-stay student visa is typically issued in 2 to 4 weeks by the French Embassy via TLScontact Islamabad.

Yes — international students can work up to 964 hours per year (about 20 hours/week) on a student visa, no separate permit required.

After a Master's degree you can apply for the APS (Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour) valid for 12 months, extendable to a Talent Passport (up to 4 years) once you find qualifying employment.

Minimum €615 per month × 12 months = €7,380 in your account, or a sponsor's notarised attestation. Funds should be held in liquid form for several months.

Yes — once registered with Sécurité Sociale étudiante (Ameli), basic healthcare is free. We recommend a top-up "mutuelle" (~€20/month) for full coverage.
