The question you will be asked is: why is he traveling? usually minors travel with their parents who have valid reasons to travel .... so you will need to prepare an answer for why traveling alone?

 

He'll be travelling alone for a football program or I'll say cultural experience(the program runs for a year but not officially recognized by the FFF of France )that's why I want to know the acceptable reasons to say or I'll say to live with his guardian and later school there(how about that )thanks 🙏🏻

 

I do not know honestly what is acceptable or not, but I tend to find that the truth is always the best way .... otherwise you will have to prepare something to explain why a minor is traveling alone that convinces the consulate provided with sufficient funds and housing from the guardian to support the kid, may be you will be asked for schooling arrangements as well.
good luck !

 

Thanks.can he school on the visa ?

 

he must go to school, as a minor it is mandatory by the law...

 

Thanks 🙏🏻

 

He can't use a student visa because it's for adults right?
So he should continue schooling on the long stay visitor visa or what exactly?
Renewable?

 

Someone in the executive ranks of the program he'll be attending should have the relevant information regarding foreign participants and what type of visa (i.e. what to state as the "purpose" of his stay in France). It's very possible that your son may be eligible for a student visa (not only for adults) but that would mean that the directors of the football program assume responsibility for ensuring that he attends the appropriate form of schooling as part of the program.

Be very careful of this sort of arrangement. There are numerous instances of child trafficking based on sports or other sorts of programs not "formally recognized" by the French authorities. If they are relying on you to come up with the appropriate visa category and/or assign a guardian they may not be legit. Proceed with extreme caution if the program officials can't give you reliable answers.

 

Thanks 😊
