You mention you moved to Belgium. May I ask which country you originate from? As I am an Australian citizen married to a Belgium citizen. We have been living in Australia for the past 8 years and now want to move to France. He has a Belgium passport and I have an Australian passport. Do I require a visa before moving to France?
I contacted the consulate here in Australia. When I contacted them 6months ago they said no because I am married to an EU citizen I dont require a visa but when i arrive in France I need to apply for a "carte de sejour" to be able to live and work there. Then I contacted them 3 months ago to double check and they have said yes i need to apply for a visa before moving to france. I am so annoyed!
I am assuming because you are married to a French citizen it will be very easy to obtain a "carte de sejour" in France. Also because you hold a residency card in belgium that will add validity to getting a "carte de sejour" in France.

 

visa to move to France - married to a Brit in France

Hi Highbuzzer,

I am in a similar situation to you. I have just married a Brit who resides in rural France. I am about to return to Australia for work but then will return to France early next year and am trying to work out visa reqirements. How did you get on with yours?

 

Hi,

I think as French spouse you always need a visa and a carte de séjour if you are not EU national. Normaly french consulate cannot refuse a carte de sejour to French spouse.
For my own migration I was helped by this agency www.passporttofrance.com, they were very efficient.
