What is an irrevocable bank deposit?

You've started to prepare your VISA application, and the irrevocable transfer certificate seems unclear? Don't worry, we'll explain everything you need to know about this document! 😊

When you apply for a long-stay student visa (VLS-TS), you must prove that you have sufficient financial means to study in France. Indeed, the embassy wants to make sure that you will be able to attend school without any problems.

Several solutions exist to justify your financial resources, and the AVI is one of them!

You will find the list of other solutions in our article: Documents required for the student visa


The irrevocable bank deposit is a document issued by any bank or financial institution allowing to justify means of existence to the French Embassy for a student visa application.

This document confirms a deposit of a monthly transfer order with a minimum value estimated at €7380, which is the equivalent of €615 per month for a school year.
