Visas
If you are a citizen
of the European Union you will not need a visa.
If you are not a citizen of the European Union, for a maximum stay of three
months and without particular agreements, you must request a tourist visa
from the French consulate in your own country. For a stay longer than three
months, you must request a long stay student visa, therefore giving you
the right to a ‘carte de sejour’ from the French consulate in
your own country. (Please see below "payment")
Registration
Complete the enclosed registration form and send it to us by fax or E-mail
with your authorization to withdraw 250 euros from your VISA or MC number
and expiration date. If you do not have any credit card you can pay via
bank transfer or cheque. In this case please contact our office. As soon
as we receive your registration form (by which you contract to conform to
the rules and regulations of the school and of the accommodation you have
selected), written confirmation and other useful information regarding your
stay, including a detailed invoice of your expenses, will be sent to you
by mail, fax or e-mail.
In the case of a late registration
(less than 15 days before the beginning of your stay), we require you to
contact us beforehand by telephone.
Payment
The balance of your payment (see payment details below) must have reached
us, by the very latest, 15 days before the beginning of your stay without
any reminder on our part. Beyond this point, we reserve the right to decline
your place.
Should you require
a visa, a deposit of 50% of the overall cost of your stay must be sent to
us with your registration form. The balance must have reached us 15 days
before the beginning of your stay. Without this payment, we cannot issue
you with the necessary 'official invitation' letter needed to obtain a visa.
In case the visa is not issued, Azurlingua will refund the payment less
50 euros fees, provided we receive proof of the refusal by the French Embassy.
Your payment must be made out in Euros and must cover all bank fees and
taxation.
