Oct 17, 2018

On today’s episode, an interview with Tom and Susan, fellow Toulouse residents, about their move to France on a long stay visitor visa. As we always do in these episodes, we get into the details of paperwork, the  move, and what it’s like living in France.

Moving to France on a Long Stay Visitor Visa: Tactical Considerations

What about things that you shouldn't put on your container to France? What about driving in France? Will you need a French driver's license? What if you want to buy property in France? And renovating property in France, what are some tips on doing that?

How Long Does Moving to France on a Long Stay Visitor Visa Take?

The process took about 6 months but they had done a lot of preparation before that. They had read different forums and blogs. They listened to the Join Us in France Travel Podcast and recognized me by my voice when we first met in person.

But, as we explain in the episode, the most important resource you can read is the website of the Consulate of France in the US. That's because rules change all the time. So get yourself prepared by listening to Susan and Tom, and also  do all due diligence with the paperwork. That is the way to success in moving to France!
