What it costs
The price of our work depends on the category and the size of the family, and we quote it after the first review. Payments that do not go to us are separate: government fees, apostilles, sworn translations and health insurance. We name those amounts before we start.
How we work
- First review. You describe your situation, and we tell you which category fits and whether any does.
- Document check. We see what you already have and what is missing, and weed out anything that would fall apart at the application.
- Preparing the file. Apostilles, sworn translations, certificates, insurance — to the requirements of the specific category.
- Application. Through a French consulate or from inside France, depending on the category and where you are.
- Support until the decision. We answer requests from the authorities.
- Getting the card. Appointments, visits and issue of the residence card.
Who handles your case
Leads the French route: picks the category, builds the file and supports the application. The company can be checked in the French business register.
Frequently asked questions
How does the work start?
With a review of your situation: you describe your circumstances, and we tell you which category fits and what you will need. The review is free of obligation.
Which route should I choose to move to France?
It depends on what you do: the talent passport suits entrepreneurs and professionals, and the visitor visa suits those who live on capital and do not work. All routes are compared in our article on French residence permits.
Who pays government fees and translations?
You do, directly. These are payments to the state and to contractors and are not part of our fee. We name the amounts in advance.
Can we work together remotely?
Yes. We accept documents electronically; you only need to attend in person where the procedure itself requires it: at the consulate, for biometrics and when collecting the card.
We also work in Spain: residence, business and tax — Spanish residence permit services.
