Yes, parents can visit France while their child is studying there, but they will generally need to apply for a Schengen Visitor Visa (Type C short-stay visa) if they are Indian citizens. This visa typically allows them to stay in France (and other Schengen countries) for up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

Key Points:

- Purpose: Short visits (such as meeting your child, tourism, or attending events like graduation).
- Documentation: Parents must show documents such as an invitation letter from their child (with proof of student status in France), accommodation details, travel insurance, return flight tickets, and proof of financial means.
- Processing Time: Usually 15–20 days, but it’s advisable to apply at least 4–6 weeks in advance.
- Longer Stays: If parents wish to stay longer (beyond 90 days), there are long-stay visitor visas, but these have stricter requirements and are not meant for frequent short visits.
