Long-stay visitor visa questions

8 years ago
Hello all,
I'm looking into applying for a long-stay visitor's visa to France (as an American), and am having a hell of a time getting the consulate to answer some questions I have. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!

-First one, and most important: If I go to France on a standard 90 day tourist visa, and return to the US, do I need to wait 90 days to apply for a visitor's visa? Or could I apply as soon as I get back?

-Also, is there a specific financial requirement, or is it up to their discretion? I have a job here in the States I can work remotely, plus some savings, but I'm not sure how much money they expect me to have.

Thanks!
