Thailand is on the list of 75 countries and territories concerned by the Etudes en France procedure, so candidates apply on the platform run by Campus France Thailand and complete the pre-consular steps before applying for the visa. The student visa is a VLS-TS, valid for four months to one year and validated online within three months of arrival in France. Non-EU first-time entrants pay differentiated registration fees of 2,902 euros at licence level and 3,950 euros at master level for 2026-2027, against 178 and 255 euros at the national rate; exemptions can apply, doctorates pay 398 euros and the CVEC contribution is 105 euros. For funding, Campus France Thailand publishes the scholarships available to Thai students and explains how French government scholarship holders organise their stay, alongside the France Excellence Eiffel programme. The French embassy in Bangkok handles the visa steps and publishes practical information for students.
