What should I do once my visa is granted?

Congratulations! Once the visa is in your passport, here is the path:

1. Finalise your booking on the Colonies website (livecolonies.com) with the personal code received when you bought your certificate; the QR code in the PDF annexes takes you straight there.
2. The home named on the certificate is offered subject to availability; otherwise Colonies offers an equivalent home in the same area.
3. €100 off your booking fees with your personal code: for a student who settles with Colonies, most of the certificate cost is offset.

You stay free: the certificate is not a firm booking and never obliges you to live with Colonies.

Don't forget the arrival formalities either: your VLS-TS must be validated online within 3 months of entering France, and the address you declare must match where you actually live.
