EasyFranceNow

We are Maxime and Aurelio, two Frenchmen who help Americans move to France.

This channel is where we answer the questions people send us every week. Which visa you actually qualify for. What the consulate wants to see in your file, and what gets a dossier sent back. What the move really costs before you have shipped a single box. How to get an apartment when you have no French salary and no guarantor. What happens to your taxes when the IRS and the French tax office both want to hear from you. How to get into the health system once you land, and how long it really takes.

We live here and we run these files for real people, so the answers come from what works, not from what a website says should work. When a rule changes, we come back and say so.

If you want the whole thing laid out in order, we built The France Navigator: an app that turns your own situation into one plan, from your first visa question to your French passport. That and our free guides are at easyfrancenow.com.
