Hi everyone! I've read all of the forum information about visas, etc but wanted to ask people about how it has worked out in practice.

I'm just about to offer on a house in France (Normandy). The plan is to move there permanently in a year or so and this, of course, will require a visa beyond the 3 months currently on offer to British citizens (not a Scottish citizen although the forum choices seems to think there is such a thing!). After 5 years, will I have to apply for citizenship and will I have to speak fluent French? My French at the moment is rather basic.

I have to say that even if I was refused a visa, I would still buy this house if just for a holiday home, but I'd rather move permanently to France.

How easy is it to get one in practice and renew it each year? I don't want to work in France, meet the required income to support myself easily and will be a homeowner. Am already somewhat involved in the local community where I am buying,

Thank you in advance!
