France — services for living and doing business

The catalogue covers these routes: residence permit, visa applications, visitor residence permit. The reference section describes 12 relocation programmes in total, with official conditions and links to government sources. Which route fits depends on whether you have a job, a business, property or relatives in the country - we'll go through it on a free consultation and pick the one that works.

3 options across 5 areas: residence permit, visa applications, visitor residence permit, crypto exchange, flights, short-term stays, car rental, yacht charter and 6 more. Every option comes with a price, a timeline and the scope of work; the provider is a licensed local expert.

No: every service in this country requires you to be there in person - usually for biometrics, a signature at the bank or filing at a consulate. What exactly has to be done in person is covered on a free consultation before any work starts.

It depends on the service: the fastest take from 10 days, the longest (citizenship, investment programmes) up to 6 months. The exact timeline is on each service card - that's the expert's working time, excluding queues at government bodies.

The consultation is free and commits you to nothing. You sign the contract directly with the expert and pay their official price list - Pactors adds no markup and takes no commission from you.

The standard naturalisation route in France takes from 5 years of legal residence (residence permit → permanent residence → passport). Faster routes: Higher education in France (2 years or more) or “exceptional services” — 2 years; marriage — 4 years (5 years without 3 years together in France). This is a 2026 guide - the exact term depends on the route, and we'll confirm it on a consultation.
