Foreign students on a programme mentioned in article L. 422-5 who can prove that they have sufficient means of subsistence will be issued with a multi-annual residence permit marked “student-mobility programme”, subject to legal entry into France. The administrative authority may grant this residence permit without the condition set out in article L. 412-1 being applicable. It is for a period equivalent to the duration of the programme or agreement, which may not be less than two years.
