Deferral of the Application:

For students who need a Visa to come to France and pursue study, due to delay, we could give one deferral. For example, students who receive Final Confirmation Letter for February intake due to delay in reserving the Visa Interview slots could get on request one deferral to the next intake, let’s say for May session or October Session or the next February session.
After one deferral is granted already, the second deferral is solely the decision of the Admission team and based on many purposes. It could be granted case to case basis. The Admission Team holds the right to deny the second deferral.
Therefore, please decide carefully which next intake is suitable for you before asking the first deferral so that you could prepare everything in advance.
