Looking to move with Family

Post New Topic

Hi! I'm looking to gather information on moving to France with my family. It would be myself, my husband, my two children ages 3 and 4, as well as my sister in law who is 16. I have an associates degree in medical laboratory technology and would like to work in a hospital lab there or something similar. My husband works in IT and has a pretty extensive resume regarding different "realms" of the IT world. I would mainly just like information on how to get started, finding work before/after moving, housing, schooling etc.

tia!

Hi adore9127,

I wish you well with your move to France and such a move as I know you are aware is not without its' complexities each one of which can have an impact of the other, taxes, health, schooling and so on.
I know you will get lots of advice and offers of help from this community and others but I urge you to consider using a regulated company with ORIAS who make sure that only qualified and experienced professionals are approved.
Things to consider though BEFORE moving are
Child benefit: Write to the child benefit section and let them know you are leaving; they should write and confirm the date you no longer get benefit.
Schools: Get school records where possible, books and homework done.
Health: Vaccinations are up to date in the childrens health booklets
Driving: Get proof of driving entitlements and no claims discounts for as many years as you can for all adults!

I really hope that helps and as for work, I was in the field of IT before launching my own company here so try to give me a call.

Goto http://www.pleasehelp.fr/en/newcontact.php and leave me your details and I'll give you a call.

Thanks

John

Well to start with you should state your nationality as that has a bearing on the process involved. The response you have got seems to ASSUME what your nationality is for some reason.

A simple explanation of the general process can be found here:

Yes it would help to know your nationality and therefore your right to work in France. :-)

In the meantime, here are a few blogs on the subject https://www.renestance.com/english-speakers-working-in-france/
