The student visa process can take several weeks. It begins with the Etudes en France procedure, which lasts about a week if there are no issues with your application. Then, you will need to complete the France-Visas process online to book an appointment with the TLS centre, which can take up to two weeks. The TLS centre then holds your passport for up to three weeks. Overall, the whole process takes between 1 to 1,5 months.
