The steps, in order

Before

Visa, application, insurance, tickets: we’ll help you prepare each step with the timelines in mind.

During

Your first steps on the ground: Check your visa type: a VLS-T « vacances-travail » needs no ANEF validation · Keep your private health insurance active — PVT holders get no French health cover · Buy a French SIM card or activate an eSIM · Secure accommodation and obtain an attestation d'hébergement · Open a French bank account to receive wages and pay rent · Sign your employment contract and complete the employer DPAE.

After

We’re here for the trip home too, from closing accounts to taxes and contributions you may be able to claim back. Find the steps for your destination in the app.
