It changes your life and completely opens your perspective.<br /><br />Have permanent residency in England now...thinking about applying for dual citizenship so I can eventually move to France. I go there so darn much anyway....I'm thinking it might be a transition for me.christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15684406902770257042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503729408884755809.post-44354172798347023722011-01-10T16:54:48.665-06:002011-01-10T16:54:48.665-06:00Loulou, ditto here! Was glad to meet you for once!...Loulou, ditto here! Was glad to meet you for once! All my best for a fantastic 2011 for you!<br /><br />Ithinkheaven, the visa your referring too, I think, is the Compétences et Talents visa that artists, authors, athletes, etc. can apply to. I personally don't know anyone who has succeeded in obtaining this visa, though I do know of those who tried unsuccessfully. It's apparently a very specific visa that's only awarded to a handful of people a year. You can find more info on the visa on the consulate's website (http://www.consulfrance-washington.org/spip.php?article519). <br />Bon courage and keep me posted - would love to hear if you make your way over to Paris! :)Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078386635713721679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503729408884755809.post-81736927306082156312011-01-09T22:54:57.854-06:002011-01-09T22:54:57.854-06:00Thank you for this post. Have you ever heard or me...Thank you for this post. Have you ever heard or met anyone living there on an artist's visa? If so, how hard are those to get? Like, do you need to be a really well-known artist or just engaged in artistic works? <br /><br />Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1503729408884755809.post-63173421354807308762011-01-08T12:52:47.527-06:002011-01-08T12:52:47.527-06:00Thanks for the mention.

I'd love to add my two cents sin...Great post!!<br /><br />I'd love to add my two cents since I also was able to find a sponsor for my job (admittedly I disliked much of it) in Paris. For me, the key was my "stage" or internship that got me in the front door of the company. Most internships will require that you're already enrolled in school in Paris but once you are, the sky is the limit stage-wise and then you can quickly get to know the people you need to know in the company and go from there.<br /><br />I think without my stage I wouldn't have been able to convince the company to sponsor me. Just an idea for people looking for another way around all the red tape! It CAN be done!KEFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12611252865410543481noreply@blogger.com
