What documents do I need to move to France from outside the EU?
The key document is a valid long-stay visa (D-visa), applied for at the French consulate in your home country before you move. Once in France, you convert it to a titre de séjour within two months via the ANEF online portal. You'll also need to register with CPAM for health cover and sort your tax registration in the first few months.
Can I bring my household goods to France duty-free?
EU citizens moving from another EU country face no restrictions. Non-EU nationals moving their primary residence to France can import household effects duty and tax-free, provided the goods have been owned for at least six months and aren't for resale. You'll need to declare the import at customs with an inventory and proof of previous residence.
How long does an international move to the Côte d'Azur take?
A UK road move typically takes two to three weeks door to door. A transatlantic sea container runs six to eight weeks from most US ports. Most reputable removals companies handle customs paperwork as part of the service. Shipping a vehicle is a separate process with its own timeline.
