Live Q&A: French Long-Stay Visas & 2026 Rule Changes
11
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM
Your questions about French long-stay visas, answered LIVE.
If you’re planning to move to France in 2026 or beyond, you’ve probably heard that the rules are changing, especially around long-stay visas, residency cards, language levels, and the “Talent” permits.
From new French language requirements for multi-year residence cards to the reshaping and consolidation of Talent residence permits, France is tightening and reorganising parts of its system.
For anyone thinking about a long-term move, it can feel confusing to know what still applies, what’s changing, and how to plan.
That’s why we’re hosting a 45-minute Live Q&A focused on long-stay visas and residency in the context of the 2026 reforms.
Join Ben Small, founder of Ibanista, and Eleonore Tavares de Pinho, a French immigration specialist, as they share clear, practical guidance on how long-stay visas (VLS-TS and others) fit into the bigger residency journey and what’s changing in 2026.
This is a live, interactive session, so bring your questions. Whether you’re just starting to think about France or already planning a 2026 move, this Q&A will help you understand the landscape and make more informed decisions.
