Hello. So we finally got the pick up mail and sms today at 3:18pm. By His grace, I will pick our passports on Monday at vfs. Timeline: submitted our Dutch visa application on the 6th of June 2018. It took a total of 25 working days(excluding the two week days holidays we had in the month of june). I will share the outcome on Monday and the documents submitted. Cheers

Hello all,

Please many people have complained about accomodation issue and I have recommended the use of leboncoin.fr or you can try this new one i just saw;
http://www.studapart.com/fr/

For guarantor, i also recommended visale.fr and discovered its actually quite complicated. You can actually try to use;
www.garantme.fr

I hope it works and feedback will be appreciated to aid new and prospective applicants. Good luck n cheers.

Well I was able to get some websites for this accommodation issue, but the main problem is paying before arrival. Is there no site that allows student to just book and pay later. I mean when we arrive France? It's really frustrating! Because from what I have seen on all the sites, guarantor or no guarantor, you have to pay before your arrival, in fact, you need to pay while reserving your room, except if you are using CROUS. And Crous is slooooow!

carlie:
Even Crous requires payment. They gave me a room but required that I pay 175 euros for reservation within 24 hours.

yesBOSS222:


please did you pay any processing fee to CROUS?

antonreal:


If someone doesn't have anyone over there to invite, is there any other way to get invitation letter?
