Students who are not European Union citizens need to apply for a French student visa prior to their arrival to France. Parsons Paris partners with Academic Programs International (API) to provide guidance and documentation for a first-time visa application from a home country/country of residence.
We encourage our students to take ownership of their immigration journey once they arrive on-site at Parsons Paris. There are orientation sessions, workshops during the school year, and manuals available to Parsons Paris students to learn about the next steps in your immigration journey. Once you arrive on site you will need to validate your visa and in later months renew your visa. These administrative procedures do require planning and organization. Failing to follow required deadlines can affect your ability to study, work, and intern legally in France.
Once you have your TNS email you will be able to access immigration information inside your my.newschool dashboard. Check for Parsons Paris when searching the left-hand navigation bar.
