Hi again...BEV are you out there??? more stuff for your book!!!!
I am currently in the process of flying back to Australia to marry my French boyfriend. We will then apply for a 'visa de long sejour' so I can come back and stay here in peace...
However, having just booked my flight back home (financial ouch!), I have stumbled upon this bit of information...
Basically, before I became an Australian citizen I grew up in Austria for the first 12 years of my life. I don't have a passport or a residency status there, my Mum was a cheap labor person from the former Yugoslavia and worked in Austria for 12 years, so I went to school there and I have paperwork to prove it.
Ready??? Please read below. Anyone know about this???
Résidents de longue durée - CE: The rules are slightly different for non-EU nationals who have been long-term residents of another EU country (Résidents de longue durée - CE). A third-country national who has resided legally in an EU country for a minimum of five years, need not apply for a visa long séjour and may make their residency application at the Préfecture within three month's of their arrival in France.
What do you make of that???
cheers Tanja
