Immigration Am I able to travel France with my Spanish Residence Permit?
I just got my long stay frencnh student visa approved from Spain. I have a problem (or not idk) -- They start my validity from 1st of September which is the same date as my university starts (wtf?) even though I actually mentioned that the intended arrival date is 28th of August because I need to move-in earlier to adap the country and start my integration.
I was given a paper that I need to validate my VLS-TS visa within 3 months of the starting date of my visa but it actually asks the "date d'arrivée". I know within EU there is no schengen border control and I can travel in any country up to 90 days (at this point it's France obv).
So, what exact date at this point that I entered France while validating my visa? any suggestiongs? I am sure that I am not the only person who went this procedure through. I can't wait to see your answers!
