Case Study: Applying for French residency

Michelle from the UK

Michelle and her husband recently contacted Patsy Valentin for help and general advice about how their family could legally stay in France prior to Brexit. They left the UK in the middle of October following the sudden passing of Michelle’s stepfather and were struggling emotionally, feeling exhausted and overwhelmed.

With no idea which way to turn to start the residency process or if it was indeed a possibility for her and her family at all, Michelle contacted us for help. The first thing we did was to ensure that we put Michelle's mind at rest – building meaningful relationships with our clients is very important to us and we pride ourselves on being able to help them to relax throughout the entire process by virtue of our warm and personalised but highly efficient approach to each of their problems or requests.

After providing Michelle with clear instructions as to what paperwork we required from her, we used our inside knowledge of the French bureaucratic system to speedily register Michelle’s family’s CDS application within 4 weeks of her having contacted us. No matter the obstacles which might arise during the bureaucratic process, we will continue to closely support Michelle to ensure that she reaches her desired outcome.

Michelle now looks forward to receiving her CDS in approximately 2 months' time and can now focus fully on building her family's dream life in France.
