Moving to France - visa advice

10 years ago

Hi there! I will be moving to France - outside Paris in November and am researching the visa process. I was told by the French Consulate in New York that for a long-term stay visa of any kind, I MUST obtain a work permit from an employer there in France. I did get in touch with a possible employer when I was there and will contact her about a work permit but my question is, if I am not hired and do not have a job yet, can I be there on my passport, look for a job while there and then apply for the permit and visa? I was told I had to apply for the visa in the US...is that true? This is only one set of questions I have but the most important at the moment. Any advice would be helpful, And more info - I have someone I will be living with, so I don't have to worry about living arrangements. Thank you! - AnnMarie
