Studying in France
Bank account
Students living outside Europe and staying in France for more
than three months should open a resident bank account. However, it is advisable to check with your home bank whether it is associated with a French network.
To open a resident bank account in euros, three documents are required:
- A passport
- Residence permit
- Proof of address (telephone or electricity bill, rent receipt, accommodation certificate, etc.).
Opening an account entitles you to a checkbook and/or a bank card. Checkbooks are usually free. Bank cards, on the other hand, can cost between €15 and €40/year, depending on the bank and the type of card.
