anotherbanana Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 As a result of the Immigration bill passed yesterday it seems that Brit second home owners will now have the automatic right to stay up to 6 months a year without a visa.

menthe Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 This doesn't actually sound that hopeful for immigrants. https://www.sudouest.fr/politique/recit-loi-immigration-c-est-de-la-strategie-comment-la-manoeuvre-du-rn-a-mis-le-feu-a-la-majorite-17893629.php Some fire-fighting for Macron et his PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabtree Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 This is a very large and complex bill. Many, if not all, of the changes will require various décrets, arrêtés, and procedures to be put into place in order to be applied, so it is entirely possible that the full effects of the bill will not be known for quite some time. Plus it also has to go before the Conseil Constitutionnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betise Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 It has yet to be published in the Journal Officiel, it will have to be passed by the Conseil constitutionnel, as Crabtree has said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alittlebitfrench Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 It is just not worth buying a second home in France. Visa’s and the cost of living. Renovating then trying to heat some shack in the middle of nowhere with no medical facilities. And France does not have that much to offer anyway. Complete and utter waste of money IMHO.

menthe Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Personally, I have never thought it worth buying a second home anywhere. Unless you want to make some money with it or use it to hedge against inflation (bricks and mortar apparently never lose you money in the long term). Instead of keeping a home permanently, I'd rather stay at some luxury hotel or rent a luxury gîte in a different place every year. Have someone do the maintenance, pool, garden, property. Enjoy myself there and pack up when the weather turns ropey and head off back to my own home. Plus, you'd still be quids in😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
