Q & AMoving/Living/WorkingWork in France Visa Question: Thank you for this wonderfully informative page!!! It is a godsend. I am marrying a French woman and we are going to live in Besançon, France. I was looking at your shipping page and am somewhat daunted at the cost of shipping furniture; however, I will be shipping far less than that, and hope that that will help offset the cost. Answer: A livret de famille is the French equivalent of marriage certificate. Once married you will use it to either get a long-term French visa or if so desired, modify a long-term visa to let the holder work in France. A French long-term visa is called a Carte de Sejour. It will either have written on it that you can work in France or not work in France. Once married you will have the right to work in France, but not before, as I understand it. Obtaining a Carte de Sejour can sometimes be a tricky process. Often times you will be told conflicting information. This is normal and just a part of France. My suggestion to you is to call your nearest French consulate explain your situation and see what they say. Follow @jeffsteiner |
