Does a Titre de Sejour (Carte de Sejour Temporaire) mean that you have residence? It also says under "Motif du sejour" that it is "Visiteur".
What are the effects of the "Visiteur" classification and does it advance your chances of obtaining residence in France or is residence more of an "intent" requisite?
Thanks

Hello,
A carte de séjour temporaire means you are allowed to stay in France for up to one year. If you want to stay longer you need to renew the carte.
As it's a visitor's permit (aka tourist permit), you are allowed to live in France but not to take on any kind of work whatsoever. As for residence, I assume you're talking about a 'carte de résident', which is like a carte de séjour only it lasts for five years (not one) and there is no category so you can do as you like. Whether or not the fact you are a visitor counts towards getting the carte de résident, I don't know.
