Thank you for sharing your experience. I think it might be useful to mention that you can save a huge amount of money on shipping by using the general post (USPS) rather than a private courier (like DHL) or shipping company; I used them for several transatlantic moves (luggage only, no furniture) and they did an excellent job each time.

Another great video. If you move outside of the US, leave your electronics in the states. I blew up most the small US appliances with using a converter. The same with my prelit Christmas tree. I could have bought the same Kitchen Aide mixer in France and have the correct plug needed for France. Note most French kitchens are small and there is little storage so be mindful of all the kitchen gadgets used in the US may not have room for them in France.

Another valuable video from Baguette Bound .. you are providing such a wonderful service for those wanting to move to France. Perhaps a video on your journey to learn the French language to help with the pain and suffering we're all working thru with conjugation and short-term memory loss! Oddly, it is of some comfort to know that others are struggling too, and that it's not just me! -Daniel (Paris)

about electricity. What works and do not works? As a rule of thumb: anything with a motor or making heat will not. On the opposite way, computers and phones chargers will do. Check they show 110/220V as input, but any recent one does.

Where on earth did you find flying from anywhere in the US to France for 3 people for $860?!? Or is that $860 each? That's still pretty cheap even for 1 way. It also sounds like extra suitcases might be the way to go or do you run into customs for that, too? I'm planning on bringing some Harbor Freight cheap tools with me unless there is an equivalent in France. Good and to the point video!

Yes, we received our visas in the United States before we left for France. At this time approved visas are often being returned around 7 to 10 days after your visa appointment.

Is it safe to say that all vital records, driving records, etc. must be newer than 6 months? Thank you for doing these videos.
@BaguetteBound
9 ай бұрын
Yes, definitely for your driving record. That's not a requirement for the visa application documents, but to get an apostille, the document usually needs to be less than three months old. Apostilles were not required on the documents we sent in for the visa, but I know numerous people who needed them when submitting documents within France for healthcare, and once you're in France they are harder to get, so we got them and included them on every vital record document we submitted once in France.

Question: in the visa section - isn't there a required in-person application review appointment? That would be a cost for anyone to travel to it if they live midway between the US cities that has a visa center (1400 miles RT for me)... Probably also need a hotel for at least one night as well? Thx!

These are professions for which there is a real demand and a search for real skills. It shouldn't be difficult to obtain a passport-talent visa, as long as you have real skills in these areas.

Only if its necessary to create a link from your name at birth to your current name of use. Start with your birth certificate and end with your current name on your passport and/or marriage certificate (if remarried), you will need to supply official documents linking together how your name has changed. If you are currently using your birth name, a divorce decree probably isn't necessary. If you have a dependant child for tax or healthcare purposes, the divorce decree may be necessary to show your rights as a parent/guardian.
