Frequently asked questions

Do French nationals need a visa to live in EU countries?

No. French nationals have full EU freedom of movement and can live and work in any EU member state without a visa. Digital nomad visa programmes are relevant for destinations outside the EU, such as Georgia (visa-free for 365 days for French nationals), UAE, Caribbean islands, and Latin America.

Which non-EU destinations are most popular for French nomads?

Georgia is extremely accessible for French nationals (365-day visa-free entry) and offers the 1% Small Business tax. The UAE is popular for finance and tech professionals. Morocco is convenient for French speakers given its proximity, cultural familiarity, and lower cost of living. The Caribbean (Martinique is French territory; Barbados and Antigua for independent stays) is also popular.

How does French tax residency work when moving abroad?

France is known for aggressive tax residency rules. French nationals who move abroad may still be subject to French tax if they maintain a primary home in France, have their main professional activity in France, or have their centre of economic interests in France. Properly exiting French tax residency requires deregistering from French tax authorities and demonstrating genuine relocation. We do not provide tax advice; consult a French fiscaliste before relocating.

Can I bring my family with me on a nomad visa?

Yes. Most digital nomad and residency programmes allow spouses and dependent children to apply alongside the primary applicant. Income thresholds typically increase for family applications. We include family guidance in our service.
