How long can I stay in France after completing masters?


After completing your master’s degree in France, you are typically eligible to apply for a Post-Study Work Visa, known as the "Autorisation Provisoire de Séjour" (APS) or Temporary Residence Permit.

Duration:
- The APS allows you to stay in France for up to 12 months (1 year) after graduation.
- In some cases, this can be extended for an additional 12 months (total of 24 months), especially for graduates with a Master’s degree or higher.

Purpose:
- During this period, you can look for employment, work (in any field), or start a business in France.

Eligibility:
- You must have completed at least a Master’s degree (or equivalent) from a French higher education institution.
- You should apply for the APS before your student residence permit expires.

Next Steps after APS:
If you secure a job related to your studies and with a suitable salary, you may be able to transition to a work permit or a long-term residence permit.
