In the event of a no-deal Brexit, Britons who have lived in France for five years or more will have to apply for a long term residence card. Here Kalba Meadows from the Remain in France Together campaign group, explains all you need to know about the 'carte de résident longue durée'.
Please explain the position of people who have not been here 5 years. When I recently tried to apply for a 5 year temporary residence permit, the prefecture was refusing to accept any more applications from British nationals. They said they had been told to wait till May when Brexit was “settled”(?). Will my Carte Vitale also have been stalled? Also I have seen nothing on the situation when one person is retired and the other is not (wife or otherwise). Does the non-retired partner come under the wing of the retired person or do they have to apply separately satisfying different conditions?
