Thanks to Tomette Paris®, you’ve found your cozy nest in Paris — and surprise! — you're actually loving life in the City of Lights. So much so that you're now thinking about staying beyond the 90 days allowed on a tourist visa? The good news is that there are several immigration options available to make that dream a reality. Let’s walk you through them.

🇫🇷 You just want to live in France
If you’re not planning to work and simply want to enjoy life in France, the long-stay Visitor visa might be just what you need. While it doesn’t allow you to work, it does let you stay in France as long as you can financially support yourself. You’ll also need health insurance that covers the entire duration of your stay. The first visa must be obtained from outside France, but the great news is that renewals can be done locally, year after year!
🇫🇷 You want to work in France
Found a company that’s ready to hire you? That’s amazing! You’ll need a Work permit to get started. France offers several types of work permits depending on your salary, job title, contract type, and more. Each case is unique — and that’s where expert guidance makes all the difference.
🇫🇷 You want to start your own business in France
If you're an entrepreneur at heart and dreaming of launching your own company in France, there are also tailored visa options depending on your profile, project, and planned investment.
