VISA - APPLY BEFORE YOU GO OR IN FRANCE?

Nathalie, is Australia a country where you don't need visa to go to Europe when you want to stay less than 3 months ? If so, you need to apply for a titre de séjour as soon as you get in France.
If Australian citizens don't have that choice, you have to check with the French embassy to ask for a titre de séjour. Then they will give you a 3-month long visa while you take care of the TS in France. I believe the reason would be "regroupement familial" ?

Thanks Jo Ann.

Yes, Australias are allowed to stay in France for up to 3 months without a visa. There is the option to apply for a long-stay visa prior to leaving for France but my husband thinks that it would be ok to apply for the titre de séjour when we arrive. I guess I'm just concerned about being deported after 3 months is up!

Do you know how or where to apply for the titre de séjour? Is there are website with information?

Thank you so much.

Good luck and enjoy your stay in France!

Hi! My wife (she's french)and I moved to france 2 years ago and except if the law changed do not come in france without the proper visa they won't let you ask for a titre de séjour from france. You will need to go to a french embassy with an appointment and get your visa. That would probably be the family regroupment visa but I'm not sure because your husband is not frenchit depends what titre de séjour he has and how long he's been out of france.
Don't hesitate to call both french and austrilian embassies until you get all the information.
Be very careful France is trying to make it a lot harder on ppl who wants to immigrate so all the paperwork is gonna be a real pain and they gonna try to confuse you with different answers
Good Luck

Thanks very much!
