How to apply for permanent residency in France
To apply for a permanent residence permit in France, you’ll need to have lived there for five years - three years if you are the spouse or family member of a French national. This can be on a temporary French visa or as an EU/European Free Trade Association (EFTA) citizen.
You’ll also need to have integrated into French culture and have a sufficient knowledge of the French language (A2 level at minimum) - though this doesn’t apply if you are over 65. Applicants also can’t have a criminal record or any outstanding criminal convictions.
If you are successful and meet the requirements this will allow you to stay in the country indefinitely and access most public services. The permits are usually valid for 10 years but you can renew your card as many times as you need.
A permanent resident card will cost you €225, to be paid using tax stamps which are only sold online
