The Visa De Retour Prefectoral - Information

Information about the听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral

The听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral听is issued to the NON EU students听who have been issued a first request-搁茅肠茅辫颈蝉蝉茅-听搁茅肠茅辫颈蝉蝉茅 Premi猫re Demande.

This includes the NON-EU students who turned 18 and had to go through a residency application with SIS after being issued either a visa for Minor (Mineur scolaris茅) or a long stay student visa for under 18.

Same with the NON-EU students who used to hold a MAE card (diplomatic card issued by the French Foreign Affairs-听Minist猫re des Affaires Etrang猫res), had to do a residency application with SIS since they gave French Authorities their card back (because they turned 18).

In addition to the听R茅cepiss茅 Premi猫re Demande, the听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral听authorizes the NON-EU to legally return France from travelling abroad.

The NON EU students must show the French borders:

  • a more than 6 months鈥 valid passport,
  • a valid听搁茅肠茅辫颈蝉蝉茅听Premi猫re Demande,
  • a valid听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral

Procedure to apply for a听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral

Must be started at least 10 days before travelling abroad.

Location:

PR脡FECTURE DE POLICE- ILE DE LA CIT脡- Place L茅pine 75004 Paris 鈥 Metro stop: Cit茅

  • Go to SALLE DES VISAS- Ground Floor of the Prefecture
  • NB. Place L茅pine is a square on your left side when you head up to Saint-Michel from Ch芒telet, facing approx.听La Sainte Chapelle.听

Days/ Hours:

MON-FRI 08:00-16:00

Required documents:

A more than 6 months鈥 valid passport;

A valid听R茅cepiss茅 Premi猫re Demande听;

1 photograph (French passport size);

The flight booking;

鈧6,00 tax stamps (the set of tax stamps can be bought at any Tobacco shop or on line 鈥搘hich is much easier and faster-听听).

IMPORTANT

Once the student is granted the听Visa de Retour Pr茅fectoral听by听the French Authorities, they must immediately send SIS a copy at听sisataup.edubefore they leave France, in order to update the residency procedure.

Since it may be a bit confusing for the NON-EU students to make a difference between a听R茅cepiss茅 Premi猫re Demande听and a听搁茅肠茅辫颈蝉蝉茅听(issued for a residency renewal), the students should feel free to contact SIS at听sisataup.edu听to clarify their situation.
