What is OFII?

Created in 2009, the OFII is now the State's sole operator in charge of legal immigration in France 🇫🇷.

Once they arrive in France, a lot of international students have to validate their VISA. It used to have to be done inside of the OFII offices but now, everything is online (👉🏼 click here).
French bureaucracy is no longer a nightmare 😇

OFII has 4 missions  💪🏼

• The management of regular procedures alongside or on behalf of prefectures and diplomatic and consular posts. 
• Welcoming and integrating immigrants authorized to reside permanently in France and who have signed a Republican Integration Contract with the State. 
• Welcoming asylum seekers. 
• Assistance for the return and reintegration of foreigners in their country of origin.
