Visa and Residency Support

What This French Visa Service Covers

Visa and Residency Support is a fully managed administrative service for Americans applying for a French long-stay visa. We confirm the right pathway for your specific profile, build a decision-ready dossier to French consular standards, prepare your TLSContact appointment, coordinate translations where needed, and stay with you through arrival and OFII validation.

We back our work with a 100% refund guarantee. If your visa is refused, you pay nothing for our service. No questions asked.

This service is also included in End-to-End Relocation.

Who Applies for Our France Visa Support

Most clients come to us in one of these situations. You are preparing a long-stay visitor visa and you want the dossier done right the first time. You are moving as a couple or family and need the right pathway for the entire household. You are applying under an employee or talent pathway and need clean alignment between your documents and your professional situation. You are building an entrepreneur or self-employed application and want it packaged credibly. You are already in France and need help with renewals, OFII validation, or portal workflows. Or you started the process alone, received conflicting advice, and now need someone to rebuild the structure and get things moving.

In every case, you want the job done correctly, completely, and without avoidable delays.

French Long-Stay Visa Types We Support for US Citizens

Long-stay visitor visas (VLS and VLS-TS), employee and talent passport pathways, entrepreneur and self-employed applications, student and family situations, and renewals or portal workflows for Americans already in France.

What you receive

A written roadmap and realistic timeline tailored to your profile. A personalized document checklist built for your situation, not a generic template. An organized dossier folder structured to French consular standards, ready to print and submit. A gap report identifying every missing item, every risk, and every fast fix. A Letter of Intent and professional financial summary drafted to match consulate expectations. A print-ready appointment packet, labeled and organized for submission day. OFII online visa validation support after arrival, and immigration account setup with a clear timeline for renewal readiness.

How the French Visa Application Process Works with Us

Step 1: Pathway confirmation. We review your full profile, confirm eligibility for your chosen visa type, and give you a clear go or no-go. If there is a better route, we tell you now, not after your appointment.

Step 2: Personalized checklist and intake. You receive a checklist built specifically for your situation, a secure document upload space, and a clean list of exactly what you need in the correct order.

Step 3: Full document review and gap fixing. We go through everything. Completeness, consistency across names, dates, addresses, and timelines. We map every missing item and give you a fast-fix plan for each one.

Step 4: Your story and finances, made obvious. We draft your Letter of Intent to match consulate expectations and build a professional financial summary sheet that presents your funds and income in a format that is easy to evaluate and approve.

Step 5: Housing and insurance, aligned with visa requirements. We help you choose housing and health insurance options that strengthen your dossier, not just the cheapest options that technically qualify.

Step 6: Application and TLSContact preparation. We prepare your visa application, guide TLSContact profile setup and sequencing, and hand you a print-ready, labeled, organized packet for appointment day.

Step 7: Support through requests and after arrival. We stay with you through the process. If the consulate requests additional documents, we help you respond quickly and cleanly. After arrival, we support OFII validation and immigration account setup, and we give you a clear timeline for what comes next.

Our 100% Refund Guarantee

We are confident in our process and in the quality of every dossier we build. If your visa is refused, we refund 100% of our service fee. You take no financial risk on our work.

Once your visa is in hand, most clients move on to Housing Fast-Track or End-to-End Relocation to handle the rest of the move.
