Approach

The VIP recruitment therefore consists of identifying potential beneficiaries of the pre-financing program for their travel procedure. It involves submitting all applications to a file analysis and an eligibility questionnaire. The results of this analysis will determine the eligibility or not of the candidate. For candidates who are declared eligible, they will be offered a contract in which the candidate must materialize their commitment by making a symbolic deposit of 150,000fr (for students) and 200,000fr (for workers) into the bank account of the company to give the go-ahead for the start of the procedure proper. However, for candidates not eligible for the VIP program, all is not lost. They will be offered a standard procedure in which they can pre-finance the costs progressively. Note that the eligibility fees are non-refundable but not lost as they are counted in the fees of the process except for cases of withdrawal. The various tables below summarize the process and the various steps.
