Our FAQs cover key relocation topics like work permits, bank accounts, and healthcare. However, we recommend booking a call with us so we can personally understand your situation and tailor a relocation plan that’s perfect for you.

What documentation is required for my employees to work in France?

In order to work in France legally, individuals typically require a work authorization (autorisation de travail) and a residency permit (titre de séjour).

Whether you are a company seeking to relocate employees or an individual navigating this procedure, we can streamline the process for you and will lead you through each stage to facilitate a seamless and compliant transition to working in France.

How long does the immigration process typically take?

The immigration procedure for moving to France can differ based on factors such as visa type, nationality, and the complexity of your situation. Typically, it can range from a few weeks to several months to finalize. At easystart, we’ll assist you in efficiently maneuvering through each phase. We assist employers in submitting autorisations de travail and visas for their employees, along with the supporting documents, to the relevant administrations through our online service.

Can you help find schools for children?

How do I open a bank account in France?

To open a bank account in France, you need to provide various documents, including proof of identity, proof of address, and a residency permit. We provide comprehensive assistance throughout the process with our partners, from organizing the required documentation to advising you on local banking choices.

Can you help set up healthcare?

Certainly! We can help with arranging healthcare in France, which includes enrolling in the national healthcare system and assisting in finding private insurance if necessary. Our goal is to guarantee you and your family have the appropriate medical coverage from the very beginning.

What is the process for setting up an auto-entrepreneur business in France?

Setting up an auto-entrepreneur business in France involves registering with the appropriate authorities, choosing the right tax regime, and obtaining necessary permits or licenses. We guide you through every step, from completing the paperwork to understanding your URSSAF obligations.

How long does it take to open a bank account and set up healthcare after relocation?

The timeline for opening a bank account and setting up healthcare after relocation to France can vary, but typically, a bank account can be opened within a few days to a couple of weeks, while registering for healthcare can take a few months to up to a year. We streamline both processes to minimize delays.

Do you provide help with the ETIAS process?

Starting in 2024, the ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) will be required for non-EU nationals from visa-exempt countries traveling to Schengen Zone countries. For individuals and families, ETIAS is necessary for short stays such as vacations or family visits. For businesses, employees traveling for work will also need ETIAS authorization. This application is completed online and is valid for three years or until the passport expires, providing a simple but mandatory step before entering the EU for both personal and business trips.
