What exact activity, role or purpose qualifies?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the activity or role that qualifies.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (NAO_SUSTENTA: Cited lines prove only a long-duration internship and a long-duration mission FOR JOURNALISTS; the general 'long-duration mission' category is in the source but not cited, so the value's general-mission claim is unproven.)

What organisation, institution, religious body, charity, teacher or host must support the activity?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the host organisation or sponsor required.

Limits of the record
  • Searched all MG extractions for a host organisation, sponsor or institution required for a long-duration mission or internship. Only the internship attestation (4a0e11abbef30584, STAGIAIRE) exists, which is proof (R3), not a host rule. The old material (classification and renewal timing) belongs to R5, which is already correct.

What proves the placement, role, affiliation, experience or cultural/religious/voluntary activity?

Long-duration mission: a signed and stamped mission letter stating the start and end dates, the host organisation's statutes, a certificate of existence issued by the Ministry of the Interior and Decentralisation (or, where applicable, its receipt) and a volunteer employment authorisation issued by the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Laws (a receipt for a pending authorisation request is not accepted). Long-duration internship: an internship agreement signed by both parties and a copy of the latest diploma.

Limits of the record
  • Checklists of the Embassy of Madagascar in Paris; other consular posts may ask for different documents.

Can the person receive salary, pocket money, accommodation, meals or reimbursement? Can they undertake other work?

Long-duration mission: accommodation is evidenced by a signed and stamped certificate from the host organisation (or, if hosted by a private individual, a sworn statement endorsed by the Fokontany, a residence certificate and the host's residence card), and the host organisation or the employer in France must provide a signed and stamped undertaking of financial support from the start to the end of the mission. Long-duration internship: a scholarship certificate or proof of resources (signed and legalised commitment letter plus a copy of the guarantor's 3 latest payslips and ID card). The official source does not state whether a salary, allowance or reimbursement may be received, or whether other work is allowed.

Once in Madagascar, the transformable long-stay visa can be extended within one month of arrival at the Ministry of the Interior or at the EDBM one-stop shop (Guichet unique), subject to the required documents. The official source does not state the length of stay, change of host, family accompaniment or subtype-specific extension conditions.
