Questions
Before you book.
Not sure this is the right step for you? Talk to our team first.
Book a callMy residence permit expired while I was abroad. Is this for me?
Possibly, but not always. A return visa is not a routine replacement for an expired permit, so we assess your case first.
I lost my residence card abroad. What do I need?
Usually a police report and evidence of your status in France. We send you the full checklist.
Do you book my flights?
No. Travel arrangements are not included.
Can you guarantee a return date?
No. Consular and government authorities decide and set their own timing.
Is the fee refundable?
No. The €250 fee is paid in full at onboarding and is non-refundable.
