You can organize an in-person interview/appointment on the official website of the French consulate in your city.
Look for available days and times on the online calendar.
Schedule your appointment at least 90 days prior to your trip to France.
Pay the visa processing fee, which varies based on your nationality and ranges between 50 and 100 euros.
Wait for the arrival of the visa. Your ethnicity, the number of students applying for visas at the time, and other factors all influence how long it takes to process your application. The sooner you get started, the better.
