What is a French residence permit “Visiteur” and who is it suitable for?

Foreigners can obtain a residence permit in France through the national visa D - VLS-TS Visiteur. This visa is a long-term visa - it is issued for a period of 3 months to one year. The conditions for obtaining a Visiteur visa are set out in Article L313-6 of the French Code on the Entry and Stay of Aliens and the Right of Asylum.

The Visiteur visa is an excellent choice for persons with a capital of 30,000 EUR or more and an equivalent level of remote or passive income, in the form of dividends from a business, securities or, for example, interest on a deposit, or rental income.

The program is suitable for entrepreneurs, business owners, their family members, including parents, who wish to reside in France permanently or on an occasional basis, as well as to travel to Schengen countries without visas.

A Visiteur visa holder can undergo medical treatment in public clinics at no extra cost if he or she pays monthly social security contributions. A foreigner can register for social security after three months of living in France.

We will be happy to conduct a legal check of your documents and accompany the entire process of obtaining a residence permit both from the country of your citizenship (including Russia) and from the country of legal residence. A residence permit is issued for a period of 1 (one) year, with the possibility of annual renewal. Holders of Visiteur residence permits are entitled to apply for permanent residence and count the term as future citizenship.
