This week's questions include:
❓Understanding that one can't work in in France on a long stay visitor visa. Can one be an investor (silent partner or otherwise) in a French small business? No intention of actually working at/in said business. Many thanks!
❓If I am planning to spend at least a year in Paris, and might possibly get married in that same time frame, and I want to do freelance photography for income, what is the best option for me?
❓How much money would I need to have in a bank account for the French administration to grant my request for a long stay visa? For one year? For 5 years?
❓I am studying on VLS-TS student which I have fully registered it online & have the confirmation documents generated from the online registration. Since the visa is multi, I assume I can travel for December & return easily with my documents. However, during the period of renewal is this the same situation as long as have documentation of the renewal having been submitted ?
❓If I am planning to apply for the RECE visa after the second year of Master’s approximately August 2024, what are the most important factors to consider and ensure for this status change? What if I don’t have my diploma in hand on August but my student visa expires in September 2024?
❓If I may want to move apartments either this summer or next in July/August would it be better to do it this summer while still on student visa or still feasible in 2024 as long as have new address in time for the RECE application. How soon must it be done the change? Can we stay in the months between end of student visa/diploma and the full review of the RECE application (just not travel outside of France)?
❓If I receive a VLT-TS visa commencing on or about May 13, 2023, but wish to make an earlier short visit (one week) in April on a regular tourist visa, does that complicate things in any way? Don't want to cause problems with our longer term residency starting in May.
❓What documents do you need to get a French driver's license if you don't have reciprocity? Do you need documents from everywhere you've had a license?
❓How can you find out if your prescription medications are available in France?
❓I know you've probably had this question a million times but how strict are they regarding the income for a visitor long stay visa? I am purchasing a home and am retired.
❓How long does it take to get a freelance business set up? (I don’t know if it matters, but I’d be arriving on a visa connected to my husband’s passeport talent/CDI, so my visa wouldn’t be dependent on freelancing.)
❓ And more...
