👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🛩🧳 TALENT PASSPORT HOLDERS: if you’ve been issued a talent passport to work and live in France, you can travel with your spouse and children. They will be issued a residency permit as a member of family of a talent passport holder. Their residency permit will be valid for the remaining validity period that you hold, depending on your employment contract or professional situation. Article L 313-21 CESEDA.

🌏✈️ A small reminder for globetrotters or those who live in different countries over the year including France, like one of my clients:

Living in France less than 6 months doesn't mean that you can't be considered tax resident in France. The 6 month rule is not absolute. You can be deemed tax resident in France if you spend more time in France than in another country! 💰⏳👀

TIPS FOR RESIDENCY APPLICATION AS A BRITISH CITIZEN 👍
Some British expats have lived in France using their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) but if they mean to apply for French residency, they should be aware that the EHIC will not be accepted as proof of health cover. Indeed this document grants no health rights if you are permanently resident and can be used only by visitors for temporary stays in France (or EU).

From August 11th 2020, anyone who would be willing to get French citizenship will have to take a written language test

France brings in new written test as it toughens language levels for citizenship French authorities have announced they are toughening up the language requirements to obtain citizenship - with new rules requiring a written test and fewer exemptions.

In those foolish times, it looks like time stood still...
Handling any paperwork tasks has become more complicated than it usually is.
Different ordonnances lays out extensions for most of procedures.

Here are some examples:

- Long stay visas and titres de séjour that expired during the lockdown benefit from an automatic three-month extension, which means that people holding a long stay visa that expired during lockdown can legally stay even after their visa expiration (ordonnance n°2020-328 of March 25th).

- The controle technique vehicle safety certificates that expire during lockdown also benefit from an extension which means that people can keep driving legally even after the certificate expiration (ordonnance n° 2020-306 of March 25th).

- But if you have been in a process of purshasing a property, the 10 day cooling off period after signing the first act keep running. Indeed, after deciding by an ordonnance of March 25th, that the 10 day cooling off period was supended , an other ordonnance published on April 16th notices that finally, this period keeps running. The goal is not to slow down the process of buying/selling a property (ordonnance n°2020-427 of April 15th).
