Post-study

France is a well-established destination for Indonesian students, and the Campus France Indonesia office in Jakarta is the formal gateway: the online procedure and interview must be completed before any visa step. Public tuition of €170–€4,000 a year keeps a top European education within reach.

Whether you target a public university or a private business or engineering school, the Campus France interview assesses your study plan, so a clear, well-argued project counts as much as your grades.

The Campus France procedure and document notarisation in Indonesia

Indonesian applicants must complete the Campus France procedure through the office in Jakarta, including an interview, before the French Embassy will process the VLS-TS student visa. Have your ijazah and transcripts notarised via the Ministry of Education and Dikti, translated into French, and prepare a statement linking your studies to your chosen programme.

Costs, scholarships, visa timeline and the post-study APS

Public tuition runs €170–€4,000 a year, with private schools at €5,000–€15,000, and you must show around €615 a month in living funds. The VLS-TS visa generally takes 6–10 weeks after the Campus France step. Indonesian students can apply for the Eiffel Excellence Scholarship, Campus France grants or Erasmus Mundus, and graduates may obtain a one-year APS to seek work.
