[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Opening a French bank account can be complex and frustrating if you don’t know how to proceed.
Here are the documents you need to have in order to open a bank account in France, (if you are over 18 of course):
If you are a European student, you must provide a copy of your personal ID card or passport.
If you are a non-European student you will need, in addition to your passport or personal ID card, a copy of your valid visa.
In any case, if you are staying with a host family or with a relative, you must have your host complete and sign a certificate of hosting (the bank will provide you with this document).
You also need a copy of your host’s ID (both sides), as well as a copy of a recent invoice (under 2 months) : water, gas, electricity or home-phone.
Here are some banks you can find in Annecy: BNP Paribas, la Banque Populaire, le Crédit Agricole, la Banque Postale, LCL, la Société Générale.
Each bank is different but they all offer student banking. If you are staying for a short-time though (under 3 months), then it is probably of no use opening a bank account.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”START AN IMMERSION WITH IFALPES” style=”custom” custom_background=”#d23732″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ifalpes.com%2Ffrench-course%2F|title:French%20course||”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”8959″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]
Highly recommended! I spent two months and now I can speak basic conversational french. Instructors really care about students learning to speak french. And they have a lot of extracurricular activities around Annecy. I am going back again this year!
