Thinking about moving to France from Europe? Start here.

A guide, not a crystal ball
French requirements can vary according to your nationality, country of origin, residence situation, work situation and personal circumstances — and rules can change.
So this guide doesn’t pretend that one checklist can tell every person exactly what they need to do.
Instead, it helps you work out what you need to check, when you need to check it and what you need to keep track of.
You’ll also find reminders to check current official information where requirements depend on your individual circumstances.
And when the French gets in the way…
Moving to France can mean making telephone calls to landlords, utilities, healthcare providers, services, appointments and businesses — sometimes when your French vocabulary suddenly decides to go on holiday.
Your guide includes a practical language survival section, plus a reminder of what to do when you need to make a call and simply don’t have the words.
Your purchase also includes 1 month of telmyfriends Expat Basic FREE, giving you 15 minutes of live telephone interpretation to help when language becomes the problem.
