Yes, it is nonsense, we actually called the prefecture to confirm that my husband didnt need a visa before we went and the lady said 'well go ahead and show up without one and see what happens' we had bad experiences with them and it makes me very nervers about going to them incase they decide to ke...
Well, its still unsorted, it seems the French just make it up as they go along. I tried to go and get registered at the Local Marie and was told that i dont need to do that as i am British and have the right to live and work here. I tried to apply for a residency card at the prefecter and they told ...

Thank you for your reply, i dont know why they make it so difficult for Americans. I guess we will try and find him a job that would provide him with paper work. Also can he keep coming back and forth from the USA to UK on a tourist visa, and then after 3 years apply for residency? There must be a m...
Thanks for the replies. We are worried about having to prove funds and possibly getting his visa rejected. also... Do you think it might be possible to extend his tourist visa which runs out in June - the reason for this is we are expecting our second child in May /June and he would not want to miss...
Can anyone help us please. I am a british citizen married to an american who is presently with me in the UK on a six month tourist visa which stipulates no right to work or access public funds.

Hey, Thanks alot for the information you provided. I have been living in france for over 6 months but have never got a residence permit, maybe i should get my residence permit first and then go ahead with his one.
