How do you get benefits in France?

I am an EU citizen and was thinking of selling my house and moving to France. But I don't have a job in France so can I get benefits until I find one? I think you can transfer your benefits for a maximum of 3 months. BUt what happens after that if you still haven't got work?

Why are you spamming the forums of multiple countries? You have to apply for work visas if you want to move to counties and work. You can not just turn up.


And no you can't just claim benefits in France after moving there. Talk to the job centre about transferring your dole over by all means.

I am not spamming. I suggest you stop following me around. I have various topics about work, looking for work and moving abroad to a few countries. I am also an EU citizen as well as a Brit so I have freedom of movement. Thanks.
