I am a graduate student traveling to France for a 5-day summer academic workshop at a university. Proof of accommodation?

I am a graduate student traveling to France for a 5-day summer academic workshop at a university. Proof of accommodation? - Faceless men in red cloaks standing on crowded square

The university will be providing temporary accommodation. The website of the consulate I am applying at (http://www.consulfrance-losangeles.org/spip.php?article2904) does not provide information on what type of documentation to show for temporary stay at a university.



Best Answer

The premise of your question is incorrect:

The website of the consulate I am applying at (http://www.consulfrance-losangeles.org/spip.php?article2904) does not provide information on what type of documentation to show for temporary stay at a university.

In fact, item 4 on that page is

4- Short stay visa for studies (90 days or under)

That links to http://www.consulfrance-losangeles.org/spip.php?article792, including a section headed "Application Requirements," which has as its item 12 (emphasis added)

12 — PROOF OF ACCOMMODATION

  • Confirmed hotel reservations for your entire stay in the Schengen states or a letter from the school listing the full address of accommodation and length of stay. Your dates of accommodation must match your flight reservations (arrival and departure date in the Schengen area).
  • or, if you are staying with friends or family, original of "Attestation d’Accueil" that your host has to request at the City Hall (Mairie) in France + ONE COPY
