Al Qantara Institute

Al Qantara Institute is a Paris relocation and advisory firm that coordinates the settlement in France of private clients, mainly families, retirees and entrepreneurs moving from the Gulf, the United Kingdom and the United States.

One senior advisor holds the whole move on a single calendar: the residence and visa file, the search for international or bilingual schools, the home, and the first year in France. Our services cover residency and visas, property and installation, schools and education, wealth and tax questions, business and investor projects, and retirement in France. Partner lawyers, estate agents and tax advisers handle the regulated matters and work directly for the client, and the decision on each visa remains with the French authorities.

A family move usually takes five to nine months from the first consultation. After a first twenty-minute call with the partners, offered at no fee, we send a written proposal that sets out the scope, the calendar and a fixed fee.
