Renouvellement

On 30 September 2026, the government announced a student multi-year permit covering the whole course, until 31 December of the graduation year. What has been announced, what already applies and how to prepare for the academic year.

Residence permit renewal starts four months before expiry. The filing window, ANEF or prefecture, the documents, the 2026 fees, late filing and the silence of the administration: the full picture.
