Wondering if your housing certificate is still valid for your visa application? The expiration date is crucial. Here's why it matters and how to avoid any unpleasant surprises!
The Livinfrance housing certificate is valid for 45 days from the date of purchase. To find the exact expiration date, simply add 45 days to the purchase date. For example, if you bought the certificate on April 1st, it will expire on May 15th.
Why is it important to know the expiration date?
Once the certificate has expired, it will no longer be valid for your visa application.
It is strongly advised not to use an expired certificate, as it may result in your visa request being refused.
That’s why it’s essential to regularly check the validity of your certificate and ensure that it remains valid throughout the embassy’s processing of your file.
When should I purchase my housing certificate?
It is recommended to purchase your housing certificate 5 to 7 days before your visa appointment.
This ensures that the certificate will still be valid throughout the visa process.
What happens if my certificate expires?
Once the certificate has expired, we cannot modify it or issue a refund. This is why it's important to keep the validity period in mind from the moment of purchase to avoid any issues.
If your certificate has expired, we recommend getting a new certificate to ensure it remains valid for your visa application process.
What if my certificate expires within the next 4 days?
If your housing certificate expires within the next 4 days, we reserve the right to modify it to ensure it remains valid during the embassy’s processing.
In this case, to avoid any complications or delays, we strongly recommend buying a new certificate.
This will help ensure that your visa application goes smoothly.
