Question

Help answer this question below.

I'm going to be studying in France for 3 months. My mother wants to come meet me at the end of that period to spend another two weeks traveling around Europe together. I've heard I can only stay 90 days, though. Is there a way around that restriction?

    When you arrive in France you are essentially being given a Schengen Visa which has a validity of up to 90 days. Beyond that you have only two solutions...

    1. Leave the Schengen territory and reenter to get a new visa.

    2. Apply for a visa from the French embassy or consulate. It's pretty easy to apply and you won't have to worry about being deported for overstaying your welcome and never allow to visit the Schengen territory again.

    If you ask me, I know which of the two I would do... I would be applying for the visa. I just don't need the hassle of being in another country illegally.

    Usually you can apply for an extended visa, check with the French authorities on the matter. You don't want to screw around with immigration issues, especially over a two week period of time.
