I am an American and will be applying to INSEAD in the fall. Does anyone know what the visa situation is like for a spouse (also American) who will be coming with me?
She has a masters degree in English and works as an editor. Her job may offer to keep her as an employee or at least a contractor. Would she be able to work while I attend school if we applied for the right visa?
And after I graduate (wanting to graduate from the France campus and work in Europe for a few years) - how long will my visa allow me to work?
Also - anyone that has attended with a spouse, what sort of support groups / activities are there at the school?
Thanks!

Hello,
I have been living and working in France for 3 years now, so I can give you a little idea about visa processes in France. Firstly regarding the validity of your visa, you will need to convert your student visa into 'work search(APS)' or 'work visa(Passport Talent)' depending on if you are looking for or already have a job(most likely) before your graduate respectively
. Your work visa stays valid for 4 years and is renewable! Your recruiter will need to provide some documents and a not so significant fee. However there is a lot of paperwork involved and french administration is known to be notoriously slow but is efficient!
Now regarding your spouse I am not very sure honestly, she might be able to work in France on an auto entrepreneur status but there are a lot of conditions involved. You should check the Campus France website for more information. For the rest of Europe I don't have much idea unfortunately. Also idk if it's worth mentioning but I am an Indian female who did a master's in France and visa requirements vary from country to country. But I am sure that you will have a wonderful time in France with your partner it's a beautiful country ❤️
Good luck !
