🇫🇷
Moving to Paris
Paris is France's political, cultural and economic capital. Extraordinary transport and healthcare; brutal housing costs and paperwork-heavy administration.
Titre de séjour
Book your appointment on the préfecture's ANEF portal as soon as your visa is validated.
Housing
Expect to provide a guarantor (garant) earning 3× rent. Services like GarantMe help newcomers without a French guarantor.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to speak French?
For most jobs and all administration, yes. Alliance Française and city-run cours municipaux offer subsidised classes.
