France – 90 Days Is Not Enough
For those of you who will be spending a mere 90 days in one of Europe’s most romantic countries, you’ll find travel to France easy. The Schengen agreement allows U.S. citizens to spend 3 months or less in France without a French visa.
However, if you are like many travelers who have discovered that the only way to see France is to live it, you’ll need to apply for a long-stay visa. Start saving up you money, however, as a long-stay visa doesn’t mean you’ll be allowed to work in France. But then again, while in France, who wants to work?
After starting a savings plan, set up an interview at one of the 10 U.S. based General Consulate of France offices closest to your home. They each share responsibility for a range of states and are located in New York NY, Atlanta GA, San Francisco CA, Houston TX, Boston MA, Chicago IL, Los Angeles CA, Miami FL, New Orleans LA, and Washington DC.
Did I mention you’d need to save up your pennies? The French government will want to know how many you’ve saved. You’ll have to submit at least the last 3-month’s worth of bank statements to prove your financial independence. You’ll also need to show that you have insurance to cover your medical expenses and have a background check done to prove you’re not some criminal looking to hide away in Paris.
Get your credit card out, as the $148.00 processing fee can only be paid by saying “Charge It!” Start your application as soon as you know of your travel plans. Visas can take, on average, 2 months to be approved. Check with the Consulate office near you to find out how soon you can expect to receive your long-stay visa to France and how much of backlog they have.
Pouvez-vous écrire en français? If not, then you’ll have to hire a translator to translate all your documents into French before sending them in.
When you finally find yourself gazing up at the Eiffel Tower or passing under the arches of the Arc de Triomphe, you’ll know that all that trouble you went to for your long stay visa was worth the effort.
