Please anyone watching you do not need a law firm to do your application it’s pretty easy! And also VFS in the USA refer their own insurance provider and it’s a lot better value than anyone online

I found that very useful, certainly reassuring to know that moving to France is not massively complicated.
Thanks for a great webinar, I’m even more excited now 👏

From my own experience I found that it was not too difficult at all to apply for the residents card. The number one thing to understand is your application must include all the required documentation and importantly make sure that you include all the translated documents as requested. Incorrect documentation will certainly prolong the process. The ANEF site is in French and English which makes it straight forward. I would suggest that perhaps you can find someone who has successfully applied and see if they can assist you, or try an office of France Services where some officers will speak English and be happy to assist. I applied for the Carte Vitale and received it in six weeks, my application for a residents card was approved by ANEF in 8 weeks but the issuing of the card itself took longer because the particular prefecture was super busy.
For me, I had no need of a lawyer but i do understand why some people might engage one.
Bonne chance.

If I am an American citizen and my husband is a German citizen with a maison secondaire in France, do I need a long stay visa if we want to live permanently as retirees without working in France?

I lived in France for many years does this make getting a CDJ any easier and do I have to have an address in France to get a CDJ

Do I have to get my Birth and Marriage Certificates translated into French? If so how do I go about doing this?

[mylenefarmer]

I'm French married to an American. Planning to eventually retire in France. Does the visa that my husband needs VLS-TS has multiple entries? We would like to continue flying to the US once in a while to visit family. Also I read that he can get the VLS-TS “Vie privée et familiale” being married to a French resident. Any difference with the other visa?

What is the process for a retirement visa?

[MrFirasa]

I am expecting an offer from France with 4 years employment visa, the work in France will be between 18 to 24 months. The assignment will move to Oman whereas I would like to keep my family in France to acquire 5 years Residence requirement to apply for French Citizenship. Would I be able to file my taxes while I would be working in Oman to make myself eligible to apply for French Citizenship. Kindly advise.

How does France look at criminal backgrounds? It looks like I would need to provide that from my own country (US) but it's not clean. It was a serious offense from 20+ years ago. Will that be an issue? Or does France disregard things that old?

[caseyherman]

I’m from the Caribbean My mom leaves in France my siblings are French I would like to join them but my country doesn’t require a visa I would like to know what can I do.. I can only travel with a 3 months document

[scottphillips]

A very lively and informative discussion today. Fab always energizes a conversation and Eleonore was wonderfully helpful. Eleonore referred to the inability to renew a visa in France depending on how you applied in the beginning. What are the specific steps that would prevent renewing in France?

[Vladimir-oz]

Hi there, I am retired, live in US and would like to move to France. My social security benefits is $1664 net per month. Please tell me if I qualify to apply for long stay visa. Thank you!

How retirement visa works for US lesbian couple legally married in the USA?

[kellyandlolab]

This was great! Just confused on one thing.
I am a French passport holder, as are my kids, my husband is South African, and we want to leave asap. But when I get to France we also want to travel a little to Italy, Spain etc.. I was confused as I am going to apply tomorrow for a spousal visa, but the lady said a tourist visa? But it will only be a week out of the month every month. And what documents will I need for accommodation as I am moving in with my father, thank you!
