Residence Permits · France

Move to France.

From the long-stay visa to the Talent Passport — we navigate France's administrative system so you don't have to.

Overview

Why France?

France offers several residence pathways for non-EU nationals, including the long-stay visa (VLS-TS) and the Passeport Talent for skilled professionals. Once in France, your VLS-TS acts as an initial residence permit and is renewed through OFII — we manage this entire process for you.
