"Your carte de Séjour alliés youbto live and work in France. French govt has said all Brits should get one. Technically after Brexit we won’t be EU citizens, but French govt has said they will honour the Carte de Sejour ; And will decide if they need to replace it with something different in due course. In terms of work in other EU countries; no: we revert to the schengen rules for non-EU citizens; that means to work in other EU countries you will need a work visa for each country . And apart from your country of residence you can only visit another schengen country for 90 days. And then you can’t return until after another 90 days. Some countries may give a year long work visa; others will only give it for a specific period. I work in 9 different EU countries, normally for a week or so at a time. That may mean I need 40 visas a year. ( I am self employed) If you are employed By a company; they should get the work visas for you. Best thing to do is to apply for french citizenship ( you need to be resident for 5 years before you can request it) . That’s what I am doing. " with regards French citizenship I know someone who's been in France for 28 of her 29 on earth. She got turned down! She's appealing but ..... | |||

"We became French 3 years ago after two years of going through the naturalisation procedure, here’s what we had to do: 1. Get the documents (formulaires) from the prefecture. 2. Prove that we were currently employed in France. 3. Prove we’d been living continuously in France for at least 5 years. 4. Prove we had sufficient retirement provision. 5. Get originals of birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates for ourselves, children, parents and grandparents in English (not all applied, we’re still alive). 6. Get those documents translated into French by an approved translator. 7. Prove that we were up to date with all our tax payments (we had to do this 3 times during the process). 8. Sit the French test TF1 in which we listened to a recording of people speaking in French and mark the correct answer on the multiple-choice sheet. 9. Pay the appropriate fee. 10. Prove we didn’t have a criminal record. 11. Have an unannounced visit from the police who made sure we lived where we said and that we weren’t using the house for any criminal activity and have the neighbours vouch for us. 12. Have an interview at the prefecture where the lady checked our feeling on the woman’s place in society, the workings of the French government, religion, current affairs etc. 13. Sing the Marseillaise and vow allegiance to France, accepting to fight for the country if necessary. That’s all we can remember but there were other things as well, it was a gruelling process and cost about a thousand Euros each. Naturalisation is not a formality, its an in depth investigation but we’re glad we did it, we’ve lived in France for 18 years. " Bravo! It's something that has been suggested to us. I am half German so that's an option we are looking at. We just went for our CdS (active) which cost us 1400€ in translation costs! Hey it's only money lol but we have to keep moving forward. | |||
