5-Year Work Visa For Indian Students Pursuing Masters In France

Indian students who are pursuing their Master’s degree in France will now be eligible for a 5-year work visa, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This means that Indian students will be allowed to work in France for a period of 5 years after completing their studies. This decision aims to provide more opportunities and encourage Indian students to study in France.
Paris: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is currently visiting France for two days, spoke to the Indian community living in France at La Seine Musicale in Paris on Thursday night. Indian students studying in France will now be able to stay in the country for five years after completing their master’s degree, thanks to an announcement made by PM Modi.
The Prime Minister was warmly welcomed by a lot of people at La Seine Musicale, a place for music and arts on an island on the river Seine. They were excited to hear him speak.
The government of France made a decision during my previous visit that Indian students who study in France will be provided with a visa to work for two years after they finish their studies. PM Modi said that Indian students who are studying for a Master’s degree in France will now be given a post-study visa for 5 years.

Earlier, Indian students who are studying in France used to get a work visa that lasted only two years.
