A 23-year-old Algerian student enrolled at Paris Nanterre University says he is waiting for his residence permit, having applied to the Seine-et-Marne prefecture. The wait is preventing him from finding accommodation and student work, according to his account to ObservAlgérie.

Mayas, a 23-year-old Algerian student enrolled at Paris Nanterre University, says he is struggling to find accommodation and student work while waiting for his residence permit. He submitted his application to the Seine-et-Marne prefecture after obtaining a student visa, according to his account to Observ’Algérie.

The student says he relies on financial help from friends and family still in Algeria to cover his daily expenses. He explains that not having the permit complicates his dealings with landlords and, he says, prevents him from arranging his move as planned.
