Study in France from Tajikistan: visa and applications

Tajikistan is not among the 75 countries and territories concerned by the Etudes en France procedure, so candidates apply directly to French institutions instead of using the platform. Once admitted, they request a long-stay student visa, the VLS-TS, which is issued for four months to one year and validated online after 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, unless exempted, against 178 and 255 euros at the national rate; doctorates pay 398 euros and the CVEC contribution is 105 euros. For funding, the France Excellence Eiffel programme of the French government supports master and doctoral candidates, and the Campus Bourses search engine lists scholarships open to students residing in Tajikistan. The French embassy in Dushanbe publishes the study and visa information relevant to Tajik applicants.
