- Note
- Due before the first issue of a residence title by a foreigner who entered without the required visa or holds no residence card after the legal delay (CESEDA L436-4), whereas a renewal requested after the deadline carries visa.renewal_regularisation_fee (CESEDA L436-5); the official pages do not settle which of the two applies to a card requested late at the end of a VLS-TS.
