The procedure, step by step

  1. 1. Choose DAP or the classic procedure

    DAP blanche is for public universities in licence 1 and requires TCF DAP. Masters, grandes écoles and BTS go through the classic Études en France flow.

  2. 2. Prove your French level

    TCF DAP or DELF B2 is required for French-taught degrees. Book the test early — Rabat and Casablanca sessions fill months in advance.

  3. 3. Attend the Campus France entretien

    The interview evaluates coherence of your project and your funding. Bring bank statements, parents' payslips and the attestation d'hébergement if applicable.

  4. 4. TLScontact visa appointment and arrival

    After acceptance, book TLScontact in Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Fès, Marrakech or Agadir. On arrival validate the VLS-TS on ANEF and apply for CAF and Visale.
