In order to apply for a visa to France you will have to hold a valid Australian visa in your foreign passport. From the France Embassy in Australia [FAQ]: Question: My Australian residency is not stamped onto my passport but it is on a loose sheet or is an electronic visa. Can I still apply for a visa? Answer: Under Schengen Regulation, your Australian visa must be endorsed on your actual passport. However, if your residency sticker is on an expired passport, you may apply for your visa as long as you produce both passports. From the Australian visa website: [thanks to Ozmaniac] Visa label You will not have a visa label inserted in your passport if you lodged your application online. A visa label is not required, however if you want a visa label inserted in your passport, you can go to any departmental office to have your visa label printed. You need to go to the Australian Immigration Office to have your visa added to your passport before you can apply for the French visa. http://www.immi.gov.au/contacts/australia/ .. After you have gotten that you can apply for your French (Schengen) visa. Your bank account of AU$5000 will suffice since the required funds per day of stay are determined at the minimum daily wage in France which is €61 [~AU$104] at present. http://www.ambafrance-au.org/france_australie/spip.php?article1112 ..
