What is the immigration procedure in France? How to handle it in Beijing?

The French embassy in China is not responsible for accepting immigration applications. Therefore, if China citizens intend to move to France, they should first apply to the French Immigration Bureau by their French relatives, namely the entry guarantor. The specific procedure is:

1) The guarantor applies to the governor of the province where he is located, and at the same time delivers the guarantor's residence certificate, identity certificate, proof of residence and economic conditions, such as rent receipt, electricity and gas bill receipt, and kinship certificate indicating the relationship between the two parties. The last kind of proof needs to be handled by the applicant in our country at the notary office of his place of residence. After being certified by the Chinese Embassy in France, it should be submitted to the French authorities.

2) After accepting the application, the governor will hand over all the materials to the Immigration Bureau for detailed investigation. After investigation, if the guarantor is a French citizen or a foreigner with long-term residency, and his living area and economic income meet the conditions of family reunion, he can obtain an entry permit.

3) If the entry is approved, the Immigration Bureau will notify the embassy in China, and then the embassy will send a notice to the applicant to start the visa formalities.

4) After receiving the notice from the French Embassy in China, the applicant first goes to the local provincial or municipal hospital for a physical examination, and the examination result report is signed by the doctor and stamped with the official seal.
