A minor can participate in a residential course in France that’s arranged by a specialized organization. Here, the supporting documentation such as an authorization from the parents and the contact details of a guarantor(s) in France must be provided. The child will be issued either with a Short-Stay Visa if the stay is shorter than three months or,  for minors aged between 16 and 18 years old and planning to study in France for more than three months, they will receive a “Mineur Scolarisé”, or school-attending minor, Long-Stay Visa.
