International students are responsible for ensuring that they comply with all applicable immigration and visa requirements.
The School can provide supporting documents including letters of admission, enrolment confirmations, tuition payment receipts, programme descriptions, and other documents that may be required as part of a visa application.
Students are strongly encouraged to begin any visa application process as early as possible, as processing times may vary significantly depending on nationality and individual circumstances.
Students are responsible for arranging their own accommodation during their studies.
The School is pleased to provide guidance regarding housing options in the Paris area and may, when possible, help connect incoming students with current students seeking accommodation or flatmates.
Students may choose to live in Paris or neighbouring communities connected by public transportation.
We recommend beginning the housing search several months before arrival in France.
The Pernoo School provides a range of services designed to support students throughout their studies.
