How to join the French Foreign Corps

(1) Apply for a tourist visa for more than one month, bring the usual proof, and then go to Marseille (I remember this military station) to take the initial test for exactly one month. If you fail the selection, you can come back.

(2) Pay attention to what you carry. On the one hand, the legion has relevant regulations; On the other hand, during the selection process, the Corps will pay you a salary, so there is no need to bring more.

(3) Note: When applying for a tourist passport, don't tell the immigration officer that you want to join a foreign corps, which will not only help you, but even bring trouble.
