• The most recent higher education diploma and/or transcripts from the current course, relevant to the study plan in France.*

This process, carried out via the platform https://www.chsi.com.cn/en/pvr/ (service in English), is the sole responsibility of the applicant. The procedure can only be initiated by the student in person.

2. Application Fees

The applicable costs and procedural rights are also the same as those for users of Chinese nationality.

3. Conditions for transferring your application to another country for visa applications
