Hello and thanks for reading my question! I am from California, USA and I am beginning to make plans for an attempted move to France! I'm sorry if these questions have been answered, I couldn't find them. I also apologize in advance for the length/wordiness.
First off, if my Visa de Long Séjour is approved (I understand I need the financial backing for this) I intend on applying for a Carte de Séjour once in the country. Ultimately, I would like to be in France for a very, very, VERY long time. Can a person with a Carte de Séjour who has been a resident for a few years apply for a work permit? I know that in order to even obtain the permit, one must meet loads upon loads of requirements, ranging from already having a job with a French company to being offered one. However, can someone with a residency card bypass this and apply for some other sort of work permit? Something for a person who has lived there for years as a resident? Also, does the agreement made in the Visa de Long Séjour to not partake in professional employment still stand after receiving a Carte de Séjour?
I'm so sorry for the horrendously wordy nature of this question; I don't quite understand how to phrase it. Essentially, my hope is this: to move to France with the money I've saved up (which should support me for a few years) then, should a local business/company/establishment like to hire me, procure at least a part-time job. Is this at all possible with a Carte de Séjour?
Secondly, I understand that someone applying for a Visa de Long Séjour must have international health insurance coverage. Upon receiving a Carte de Séjour, must the international health insurance continue or can the resident receive health care from the country? I will need to factor in a lot more money if I need to pay for years of healthcare in addition to the money I am trying to save up.
Any and all information will be greatly appreciated, you've no idea.
