Six month visas for second home owners

[anotherbanana]

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. Details to follow.

This doesn't actually sound that hopeful for immigrants.

Some fire-fighting for Macron et his PM

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.

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.

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.

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😆

I agree Mint.
