For U.S. citizens interested in obtaining a work training or apprenticeship visa in France, there are several options depending on the nature of the program and your specific situation:
1. Internship Visa (Visa Stagiaire)
2. Work-Based Learning or Apprenticeship Visa (Visa Apprentissage)
3. Student Visa with Work Authorization
4. Young Professional Exchange Program
For any of these visas, you’ll need to:
• Apply through the France-Visas portal, the official website for visa applications to France.
• Submit the necessary documents (passport, contract, financial proof, etc.).
• Attend an appointment at your nearest French consulate for biometrics and final approval. Each visa type has specific conditions, so it’s important to tailor your application to your goals and secure a valid training or apprenticeship agreement in France.
