Immigration visa application conditions

In order to reduce the number of foreign immigrants, the French government has very strict restrictions on foreigners who apply for entry as immigrants. Immediate family members of non-French citizens or foreign nationals, specially approved contract workers and political asylum seekers are not allowed to obtain immigration permits. Only those who meet the following conditions can be approved:

(1) accepted the employment of the employer, and the labor contract has been approved by the immigration bureau;

(2) French citizens' spouses, unmarried couples, children under the age of 2/kloc-0, parents, etc.

(3) Spouses of foreigners who have obtained long-term residency and children under the age of 18;

(4) Refugees whose status has been approved and who have obtained the legal right of abode.

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 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 and 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 physical examination, and the examination result report is signed by the doctor and stamped with the official seal.

(5) Finally, apply for an entry visa at the French Embassy in China with a notice, passport, health certificate and my photo.

You can get a ten-year residence card after the fourth year.

Physical examination:

France handles the information and physical examination he needs (it is best to let the man go to France for a physical examination, free of charge).

The embassy fills in the form:

The embassy asked for a copy of the information and physical examination form needed for marriage. If you are not familiar with the wedding procedure, you'd better get these materials from the embassy first.

The form that the embassy is coming to have a physical examination with colleagues in Beijing. After the physical examination, the results will be available in a week. Take the medical examination results and make an appointment with the doctor at the French embassy. The doctor in the embassy will simply ask some questions, such as medical history or family history and a simple physical examination, and then sign and stamp the physical examination form you bring. Be sure to bring a 2-inch photo when you go to the hospital for a physical examination. My colleague's fee is 400 yuan, and the French doctor's fee is 275 yuan. Take your passport with you when you go. )

Oral examination of French embassy:

The interviewer will ask many questions separately. There are details you are interested in. Especially when and where. So before, you and your boyfriend must relive your experience together, which is also a very sweet thing. Moreover, fake marriage is really inseparable, and people who want to go abroad or have other interests through marriage are advised not to take this road, which will eventually harm others and themselves.

After the interview, the interviewer told us that we could get the marriage certificate ten days after the notice. Because my husband lives in China, the announcement doesn't need to be brought back to France. It's at the embassy.

The embassy issues a marriage certificate (if you get this document, you should carefully check whether there is anything missing. )
