Cathar Tours Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 You can now apply for your special French residency card if you are British and live in France. You don't need a CDS but if you have one it is much more simpler.https://contacts-demarches.interieur.gouv.fr/brexit/brexit-residence-permit-application/They are running a similar system in Germany.

Jazzer Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 See belowBritish Embassy Paris19 hrs · One of the questions at our first meeting in Perigueux was about the recently launched online portal for residency applications post-Brexit in a no deal scenario for UK nationals and their families. The portal is accessible from the French government’s Brexit website here: http://bit.ly/2MjqfAM.A fee of 119 euros for the first application will be payable at a later date.If you are a UK national living in France at exit day, and intending to remain, you must make a new residency application through this portal. There will be a 12 month grace period during which your existing residency and related rights will be maintained, but you will need to apply for your new card within 6 months of any no deal Brexit, even if you already have a carte de sejour. The site is getting good early feedback and is simple and easy to use, but make sure you have your documents ready to upload before starting the process as you cannot save and come back to your application. Once you submit your application, you will receive confirmation by email and you will later be contacted by the prefecture for an appointment. This appointment is to provide your fingerprints, a photo and your proof of payment. After this your residence permit will be posted to your home address.Bear in mind that applications will not begin to be processed until after exit day, meaning there is no immediate rush to apply.

Cathar Tours Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 The French and German versions are not that different although after the 31st if you have lived there for less than 5 years or do not already have a residency card you pay. Five years and longer with a residency card it is free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the deal is passed and new set of standards will be needed. One significant change is that the €119 fee will not be charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
