THE French Ministry of the Interior has announced that it is postponing the re-launching of their residency permit portal from July to 1 October because of the impact of covid-19.
You can read their update here, and British citizens will not require a residency permit until 1 July 2021.
Roger Haigh, President of The Franco British Network, said: “Despite the delay in the opening of the online site for submitting residency applications we recommend that UK nationals begin to collect all the necessary documentation, in anticipation of the new date for the opening of the online site on 1 October 2020.”
The Franco British Network believes that UK nationals currently living in France will be required to submit five documents to support their applications:
1) Valid passport
2) Birth certificate
3) Proof of living permanently in France
4) Proof of income
5) Proof of healthcare
The Franco British Network is set to help UK nationals living in the Dordogne enabling them to take advantage of free assistance and directly ask questions.
