The cost for us to handle a visa or residency application starts at €1250, with the option for a split payment.

• Residency card: Depending on your local préfecture, the process can take from 2-5 months.
• Visa: Between 2-6 weeks.

• If you are in France without a valid Visa or residency card contact us as soon as possible, so we can regularise your situation.
• For a Visa application, at least 3 months before your planned arrival date would be ideal.
• If you have a valid Visa or residency card you need to apply for a renewal within 2 months of their expiry. We would recommend contacting us before they expire.

A visa can last 3 months, 6 months or one year, depending on your country of origin and the type of visa. If you intend to settle permanently in France, a one year visa can be renewed with your local French authority two months before expiry. At this point, if you are intending to stay, you must apply for a carte de séjour, which is a 5 year renewable residency visa.
