good video

[@sohaibroomi7404]

Very informative video, I am planning to open a bank account in LCL, Please suggest which one is better LCL or BNP in terms of charges, online transactions, and services? Thank you

[@user-ep9pv5dw3f]

As being student, we don't have income statement and tax return then it will be ok?

[@AkashD815]

What is expense per month in france and income ? like everthing included..

[@meetimian3383]

Can an international student studying in France work in other countries during studies such as in Germany ??

[@RheaxGarde]

You will normally need a separate work permit from the country, and a sponsorship from the company to work

[@meetimian3383]

I'm struggling to find a accommodation in Paris. Can you help? The process is also very hectic and involves a lot of guarantor and confusion

[@RheaxGarde]

I've made a video on Housing in France where I mention some websites to find accommodation as well as some platforms that help international students get a french guarantor. Once you get a guarantor, it gets easier to find accommodation

[@sruthisimmi3438]

Hi, were you able to find an accommodation yet?

[@meetimian3383]

Do private universities student also have to pay CVEC? My university is a private one and they never mentioned anything about it.

[@RheaxGarde]

Yes even private schools do. Your school might inform you once your classes start

[@meetimian3383]

​@@RheaxGardebut what actually is cvec?

[@aayushpadur5835]

Being new to France, I dont have Tax stamps or salary certificates, will this be a problem to get CAF?

[@RheaxGarde]

If you haven’t worked in France then you just have to write 0 in the salary part. There won’t be any problem :)

[@IAmStu7]

i validated the visa online with 50 euro ticket and also applied and received CAF. Do i still need an OFII ? if so how ?

[@RheaxGarde]

If your visa validation ticket was OFII itself then you don't need to do it again :)

[@omprakash-rt4fv]

How to change Indian driving licence into French? Merci

[@RheaxGarde]

Your indian driving license must be valid and either written in French or accompanied by an official translation into French. If you reside in France, you can use your foreign licence for one year. After one year, you will have to exchange your foreign licence for a French licence

[@tusharrawat1108]

Is French tough to learn

[@danielemechete6448]

Please how do you get your income statements for CAF when you’d only worked in a different country?

[@RheaxGarde]

If you have not worked in France you need to only fill in the SALAIRE part, not the income statements
