I am russian student and live in the UK and want to apply visa for france?? read details?

Question

ok

1. I have applied for language course in paris and have already paid the whole tution fee (its a 2 weeks course) and therefore have got an invitation letter in order to obtain visa (invitaion = check)

2. they have asked me for a letter from university to prove that I study in the UK (certificate of attendance =Check)

3. in the visa requirements they have mentioned that they MAY ASK for my bank statement of the last 3 months. Now this is what I am worried about, since I am a student my bank account in the past 3 months has always been in overdraft (always minus even though I had a steady cash flow and recieved a steady allowance from my parents) , but I am worried that they ask me for my bank statement and don't give me a visa since my bank statements show that I have been in overdraft. Is this a problem?? I am really worried and I have already paid for this course in france, plane tickets etc and I am worried not to get the visa !!

Answer 1

CPG is correct. I just want to add that you wrote they "may ask". That does not mean that they will do. Since relations between EU & Russia are fine the Visa thing is just pro forma nad you will get it easily if you proof that you do not intend to stay.

Answer 2

Ask your parents to send them their bank statements with an affidavit of support signed by them - just like you did for your U.K. student visa - and present the statement and affidavit of suppor if asked for them

This is perfectly acceptable.

Answer 3

Don't forget to give them the letter from University...
