FAQ
ℹ️ Important note The granting, duration, and renewal of a visa or residence permit are decided exclusively by the French authorities (consulate, OFII, Préfecture). EDAM provides the necessary academic documents (certificates, transcripts, proof of attendance) and serious support, but can never guarantee an administrative decision.
