HELP! Travelling before a French student visa

Hey everyone. I’m an Australian student and I’ve been accepted to study in France next September.

I’ve been driving myself mad trying to find the answers to these questions so maybe you can help?!

1) How early can I enter France on a long stay student visa? If my university starts in September, can I enter in June? Listing my intended date of entry on my application form as June and applying in March (3 months before)?

2) Will I need to enter via France or can I enter via any Schengen member state?

Thank you!

For the most accurate information, contact the French Consulate or Embassy in Australia.

Why can't your French university answer these questions? Surely they know the answers.

The university says they cannot give VISA advice and the embassy won’t answer “general visa questions” - I have tried...this forum is my last resort

Try Aussies applying for titre sejour France FB group. Make sure you ask in this forum and not the Aussies in France FB group. Join both as they are great groups.
